Add links to Labs help/FAQ on Nova Resource project and instance pages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

A great suggestion from @Tgr on improving the discoverability of useful Labs documentation:

Turning them into less horribly arranged status info and more autogenerated documentation would be nice. E.g. how do I SSH into the machine? How do I make it available from the internet? Whom to contact if it does not come up? How do I set hiera rules? Surfacing information like that at the point of need would be better than having to search for it.

I don't know what Labs help/FAQ is/was but if this was https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:FAQ five years ago then we redirect that URL to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Cloud_Services_introduction since T292811.

"Nova Resource project and instance pages" - The wikitech.wikimedia.org side bar does link to several resources nowadays in a Cloud VPS & Toolforge section, and that includes a link to the page I mentioned in the previous sentence.

Thus I assume this task is obsolete. If it is not, then please reopen and elaborate (preferably including example URLs). Thanks.
