Buster VMs remaining after July 15th with no activity on their associated phab task will be shut down and/or deleted at the convenience of WMCS administrators.

This VM is now shut down (although I didn't shut it down.) Can it be deleted?

Emailed project admins today:

Hello!

You are receiving this email because you are listed as an admin of the 'wikipathways' project in cloud-vps.

None of you have responded to a wide variety of contact attempts, so I have deemed your project abandoned. If I don't hear back to the contrary by August 22nd I will irrevocably delete any VMs and resources stored associated with this project.

If you would like the project preserved, please respond to this email, edit the 'wikipathways' section on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2024_Purge,  and update https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T367563 with your plan to replace the existing VM with one using a modern OS.

If you are confident that this data can be deleted, I'd also appreciate an email as that will save me some time during cleanup.

Thanks!

@Andrew, hi, the email replies by Alex seems to get bounced, but he already replied July 19th. Since I received that email, I did not know you had not. Alex wrote: "Yes, it can be deleted. Thank you for asking."

Andrew claimed this task.

Thanks @EgonWillighagen. This project is now up to date.
