Ping @WMDE-Fisch, @thiemowmde, @jkroll, @Tobi_WMDE_SW

The Cloud Services team would like to have Debian Jessie systems replaced with Debian Buster (or Stretch if necessary) before 2019-12-31. Please do respond of this task with comments if you know you will not be able to meet that target date or have additional questions about what to do or how to do it. Ideally you will create new instances in your Cloud VPS project, test them, and then migrate any final state data to the new instances before deleting the old Jessie instances. If you need more quota space in your project to create new instances in parallel with your existing instances please create a quota request task describing the increase you need and referencing this deprecation task.

@WMDE-Fisch you marked this project as "in use" in the 2019 project purge. Can you give an estimate of when you or others may be able to address this task?

I think it's easier to sunset a.k.a. delete these services, as we currently don't use them any more, and do not plan to use them in the near future. I have to confirm this with the rest of the team, most notably @Tobi_WMDE_SW and @WMDE-Fisch.

WMDE-Fisch moved this task from Sprint Backlog to Doing on the WMDE-QWERTY-Sprint-2020-01-08 board.

I'll backup what might be useful and then we can sunset it.

@bd808 So sorry for the hold up here. So we can delete the whole project. I just checked back with the rest of the team and backuped some potential useful data. I also deleted the instances already. Thanks for taking care.

WMDE-Fisch moved this task from Doing to Watching on the WMDE-QWERTY-Sprint-2020-01-08 board.
