Ubuntu Trusty is no longer available in Cloud VPS since Nov 2017 for new instances. However, the EOL of Trusty is approaching in 2019 and we need to move to Debian Stretch before that date.
All instances in the butterfly project needs to upgrade as soon as possible.
The list of affected VMs is:

What's the upgrade process? I don't suppose one of us can just run apt-get upgrade or similar?
I'm not sure where "as soon as possible" is coming from in the task description. There's no real rush here, as far as I can tell.
From Ubuntu Trusty to Debian Jessie or Stretch? No. You should create new instances, transfer any data/services/etc. over and delete the now-unused old instances.
Per https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Trusty_deprecation#Cloud_VPS_projects the deadline is 2018-12-18.
Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2018-12-18T01:07:30Z] <legoktm> deleted bf-wmpageview instance (T204496)
The bf-wmpageview instance was for testing the PageViewInfo extension, which is now deployed, so I've deleted it.
I dumped the database of butterfly-m4m (which was using labs-vagrant, wow!) and created a new butterfly-m4m2, accessible at https://m4m.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Version
@MZMcBride do you know if there was anything else on the old m4m that's worth keeping/copying over? Otherwise it's ready for deletion.

Thank you! It's nice to have a working wiki at that address.

Blowing away the old m4m sounds fine to me.
