Remove support for Debian Jessie in Cloud Services
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

On April 25, 2020 the Debian project stopped providing security patch support for the Debian 8 "Jessie" release. The Cloud Services and SRE teams at the Wikimedia Foundation would have liked to have all usage of Debian Jessie in our managed networks replaced with newer versions of Debian's operating system on or ideally well before that date. We did not achieve that goal, but we will continue to work towards removal.

In the Cloud VPS environment, this removal requires the cooperation and participation of Cloud VPS project maintainers.

Event Timeline

Based on lsb_release -c, 212 of our 809 instances are running jessie (possibly missing one depending on the distro in use in T232676 - looks like that host was not reconfigured for the new cumin master). So about 26.21%.

Are we going to re-create https://tools.wmflabs.org/trusty-deprecation/ for jessie?

JFTR; the task description is inaccurate, supports ends five years after the jessie release, i.e. April 25 (but the internal hard deadline is end of Q3 as we still need time to properly wrap things up in puppet/repos etc.)

Thanks for the clarification on the end of support date. I updated the description.

When is 'end of Q3'?

Is there still more work to do here? Or can this task be resolved and the project tag be archived?

MoritzMuehlenhoff claimed this task.

We can close the task, doing that. Not sure what needs to be done to get the project tag archived, though.

Tag now archived as well. Thanks to everyone who helped on this long set of tasks. I'll see some of you again soon enough when we do the same work to get rid of Stretch. :)
