My team doesn't have big tasks which require multiple VMs but rather occasional tasks which require VMs (or multiple simultaneous tasks each requiring a single VM), so please understand that I'm not requesting a task-specific project but an ongoing team-specific project on Cloud VPS due to the nature of our work.

In fact, that's the point of a patch like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/458907/, which allows us to create a VM, configure it easily for the specific task (e.g. machine learning, deep learning, Bayesian statistics, time series analysis/forecasting), and then destroy it when the project is done. We can do some of our analysis work on stat100* machines and in SWAP, but we'd also like an option to isolate certain analyses into their own temporary VMs if needed.

An 8 VCPU / 16GB RAM project would cover our needs, please and thank you :)
