Just to clarify, is this just nomad or all the instances? e .g. trending.reading-web-staging.eqiad.wmflabs ?

I think that our audit only found nomad to still be running Ubuntu Trusty as the base operating system. I just checked trending and it is running Debian Jessie:

$ ssh root@trending.reading-web-staging.eqiad.wmflabs
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 8.5 (jessie)
Release:        8.5
Codename:       jessie

Ok great, that makes this much simpler. Thanks for the clarification.
When does this need to be done by? this is my instance, so I'll put this on my todo list!

When does this need to be done by?

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Trusty_deprecation says the deadline is December (though it is a draft).

Hey @Jdlrobson! Just a friendly reminder that you should get rid of your Trusty instances as described in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Trusty_deprecation#Cloud_VPS_projects. The deadline is 2018-12-18. Please get in contact if you need help.

Nomad instance can be deleted later today. I migrated the instance but ive been keeping it around to make sure i got everything. Will ping back when done.

nomad is no more! Lemme know if any follow ups are needed.
