Hi,
today 2019-09-30 we were doing an operation in all CloudVPS virtual machines to

Every year or so the Cloud Services team tries to identify and clean up
unused projects and VMs. We do this via an opt-in process: anyone can
mark a project as 'in use,' and that project will be preserved for
another year.
I've created a wiki page the lists all existing projects, here:
