@Andrew said we can special request instances that run on Ubuntu Trusty :)
I need 3 medium instances in the "discovery-stats" project because I am doing a data visualization literacy workshop at All Hands next week and I need to host a Shiny app that many people will be accessing.
Please and thank you!

Awesome, thank you so much! shinyserv-01, shinyserv-02, and shinyserv-03 would be totally fine names! :)
I might have a 4th (small) VM that runs nginx for simple load balancing but for that one it wouldn't matter whether it's running Debian or Ubuntu, right?
OK, I've created four instances:
shinyserv-01 (medium, Trusty)
shinyserv-02 (medium, Trusty)
shinyserv-03 (medium, Trusty)
shinyserv-lb (small, Trusty)
You're right that nginx (especially if you puppetize it) might work better on Jessie, in which case you can just delete the -lb VM and recreate a Jessie one.
I'm going to rename this task so that we remember to delete things after your workshop is finished.
Change 405344 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bearloga; owner: Bearloga):
[operations/puppet@production] Make Shiny Server a separate profile
Change 405344 merged by Andrew Bogott:
[operations/puppet@production] Make Shiny Server a separate profile
Changed the name back because I want to keep these up as a learning tool for anyone who missed the workshop and future WMF employees.
This is ok, but keep in mind that Trusty is deprecated throughout WMF infrastructure (including on WMCS VMs). Don't get too attached to these VMs -- I'd advise moving all of your systems to Stretch as soon as you're able.
We have to use Ubuntu for Shiny Servers until RStudio makes Debian version available or until we do it ourselves in T168967
