Please read the Wikimedia Cloud Services Introduction and the Getting Started guide. |
Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) provides a cloud computing infrastructure powered by OpenStack for projects related to the Wikimedia movement. The environment includes access to a variety of data services. Cloud VPS is meant to make it easier for developers and system administrators to try out improvements to Wikimedia infrastructure (including MediaWiki), power research and analytics, and host projects that are not viable in the Toolforge environment. Virtual machines running on Cloud VPS are subject to the instance lifecycle.
Current Usage
See the openstack-browser tool for an overview of resources being used and a list of projects in our OpenStack deployment.
