Switch off servers that are not in use

[datapythonista]

Some servers doesn't seem to be in use anymore. We should double check this is the case, and then cancel them. So far, looks like those are the candidates (listing rackspace service names):

• amy NumFOCUS internal tool for workshops not in use anymore, as confirmed by Andy
• bokeh (confirmed by Bryan this is not being used)
• scipy-mail and mail2.scipy.org (acoording to this scipy wiki this is not being used since 2018. Didrik doesn't know about those servers)
• researchcompendia.org (repos of the site haven't been updated since 2014, I guess it's save to assume this can be switched off)
• pydata-org (old PyData site based in Django: https://github.com/pydata/pydata.org. there shouldn't be anything useful here)
• dask2021, eindhoven2021, global2021 and jupytercon2020 once Make old conference websites static, and switch off servers #12 is completed
• pydata.org-2 once Move routing from pydata.org-2 to cloudflare and a AWS worker #15 is completed
• berlin.pydata.org once Get the content of berlin.pydata.org #16 is completed

berlin.pydata.org is the server behind https://berlin.pydata.org/. It looks to be running both Jekyll and a Mezzanine instance. This is probably a better candidate for migration than outright removal.

amy and researchcompendia.org is clearly no longer used. I plan on imaging and shutting down today.

as @datapythonista mentioned in slack, we can also turn off bokeh, scipy-mail, mail2.scipy.org, and pydata-org

Rackspace ticket for the deletion: https://portal.rackspace.com/891151/tickets/details/220405-ord-0001045

They want to run their own scream test. The only way to delete servers these days is to call them or make a support ticket.

[aterrel]

These servers are now off.

[datapythonista]

The next servers should be ready to be switched off (will wait until Monday to make sure everything is working as expected after the last changes):

• eindhoven2021
• global2021
• conference.scipy.org
• berlin.pydata.org
• pydata.org-2

They are costing $335/month.

@aterrel if I need any information not in the rackspace dashboard when I call, please let me know. Or if it's easier to call yourself, surely fine.

@martey if you want to export the database of global2021 or eindhoven2021 before we get rid of the servers, now it's the time. :)

[aterrel]

I don’t think you will need any more information.
