Welcome to Wikimedia Cloud Services (WMCS)!
WMCS is a virtualization cluster using OpenStack Compute which is separated into distinct projects. Each project is a collection of virtual machine instances that users administer and operate to benefit the Wikimedia free knowledge movement.
History
WMCS has been known as Wikimedia Labs until March 2nd 2017.
The "Labs" nomenclature became overloaded and often required clarification about what component of the ecosystem was being referred to. The WMCS team behind the historical "Labs" are launching a campaign to improve the language and branding surrounding products and services offered.
Eventual final branding and renaming is open for discussion. Working titles are now in use across some documentation.
