Hi, Just FYI. Today I found out that on the 26 of September 2022 the Twisted Visual Studio Azure subscription that we had as a sponsorship from MS was disabled. On the 30 of December 2022 the whole "resources" were removed. This means that we lost the backups from the old Dornkirk VM. Also, all the services migrated from Dornkirk are no longer available. Most services were already migrated from Azure VM, so in terms of services, the important disruption is in terms of the DNS server. The backups could also be an important part, but I think that the important information was archived in various Twisted GitHub repos. I don't think that it is worth trying to recover the data. I was expecting to receive a separate email from MS to inform me that they will no longer support Twisted, and not just a generic Azure subscription disable message. The Twisted Azure subscription message was lost between my other messages, as in the same period I was also disabling/removing other Azure subscriptions :( Regards -- Adi Roiban

Have you spoken to anyone at Microsoft, i.e. Steve Dower, to see if anything can be recovered?
No. And I don't have time to chase this. But I don't think that we need the Azure account. And from what I can see, there wasn't much love for Azure within the current Twisted devs. If at any time you or someone else thinks that we need a VM or container to run Twisted itself, I can donate those resources from my Azure subscription, or Vultr cloud or other clouds. --------- I migrated Dornkir to an Azure VM since I didn't had time to do the GitHub issue migration, so it was need for Trac. But by now, Trac was decommissioned, so we should be ok. Regards -g
