*We're migrating Dashiki https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Engineering/Systems/Dashikito newer cloud instances. *
We completed T360914 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T360914 to meet the compliance deadline for the Cloud_VPS_2024 Purge https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2024_Purge.
This means we can no longer use .wmflabs.org to proxy to them, so any.wmflabs.org will become any.wmcloud.org. Following are links to the new dashboards with some details about each.
- pingback.wmcloud.org (tracking third-party MW deployments around the world) - vital-signs.wmcloud.org (old "state of the wiki" dashboard, piwik says this is barely ever used) - browser-reports.wmcloud.org (browser statistics, new and improved data coming soon, used to be quite popular) - wmcs-edits.wmcloud.org (awesome dashboard showing the proportion of content contributions that comes from cloud-based tools and bots)
Additional dashboards:
- equitylandscape.wmcloud.org (the dashboard for the project https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_Data_and_Insights/Movement_Data/Equity_Landscape/Introduction was paused with staffing changes and reorg in June 2023) - language-reportcard.wmcloud.org (data missing, doesn't seem updated for a while) - flow-reportcard.wmcloud.org (defunct project) - page-creation.wmcloud.org (data not available anymore)) - analytics-prototype.wmcloud.org (internal Data Platform Engineering team general purpose prototyping) - wikistats-canary.wmcloud.org (internal Data Platform Engineering team test wikistats production deployments from mobile devices, etc)
Please note: Dashiki dashboards are not actively maintained. Issues can be submitted using the Data-Engineering-Dashiki https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/data-engineering-dashiki/ tag in Phabricator. If there is an urgent critical bug, add the Data-Products https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/data_products/ tag for triage.

Just for clarification, when a `*.wmcloud.org` proxy is created in the Cloud VPS environment the matching `*.wmflabs.org` hostname is also configured to redirect to the same backing host.[1][2] This is a deliberate feature to help folks like the Data Products team migrate their canonical URLs from the legacy wmflabs.org root to the recommended wmcloud.org root without forcing their legacy URLs to break.
Everyone should try to update known links and documentation to use the new canonical names, but also be happy that things outside of their control should continue to work.
