Description

Project Name: techblog

Wikitech Usernames of requestors: BryanDavis (@bd808), SRodlund (@srodlund)

Purpose: Development and user acceptance testing environment for techblog.wikimedia.org WordPress blog platform

Brief description: The Wikimedia Foundation is contracting with an external service provider (https://wpvip.com/) to host the relaunched techblog.wikimedia.org blog. The contracted environment includes a preview/staging server but pushing content and configuration changes to that environment follows a workflow that is optimized for catching errors before they are live on the production site rather than for rapid iteration and prototyping of new features and integrations. This Cloud VPS project will be used to fill that gap by hosting one or more development instances of WordPress combined with the techblog customizations.

How soon you are hoping this can be fulfilled: 2020-03-06 or sooner would be ideal.
