Portal:Cloud VPS
Cloud VPS (Virtual Private Server) provides cloud computing infrastructure, powered by OpenStack, for projects related to the Wikimedia movement. Cloud VPS makes it easier for developers to test improvements to Wikimedia infrastructure (including MediaWiki), do research and analyze data, and host projects that are not viable on Toolforge.
