Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2024-07-18T00:00:24Z] <andrewbogott> shutting down Buster VMs due to lack of response on T367562

I'm shutting down the Buster VMs today since they appear abandoned. If anyone restarts them, please follow up on this task with your plan to replace them with newer VMs.

emailed today:

Hello!

Your cloud-vps project 'wikilabels' is currently under multiple threats.

It contains Buster VMs, and we are shutting down hosts running Debian Buster (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367560)

It is currently not marked as in use on our annual purge registry (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2024_Purge)

If you're ready for the project to be deleted, feel free to just respond to this email. If you'd like to preserve the project then please follow up on the above items, and subscribe to the cloud-announce mailing list so that you aren't taken by surprise by future maintenance tasks.

If you take no action I will likely delete your Buster VMs next week (that's most of them) and delete the entire project next month.

Andrew claimed this task.

As the last custodians of the wikilabels infra, we/I can confirm that it
is unused and can be deleted. All the code that might be relevant is
archived on GH or elsewhere, so if there was any _historical_ interest,
that can be dug up if ever needed.

Best,
Tobias
