Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the news and FAQ.
When I first logged into horizon, I was shown 5 instances that were not
mine.
Question: Why can't I see my instances?
Answer: The project is defaulted to "bastion". You will need to select
your desired project. You can either use the top header project
drop-down, or use the the left-hand menu, Identity >> Projects, and then
clicked the "Set as Active Project" button.
Regards,
-Steve

Yesterday afternoon we completed the last major blockers for adoption
of https://horizon.wikimedia.org as the primary Labs VM-administration
tool. Starting today, Horizon should be your tool of choice for:
* Creation, deletion, starting, stopping of labs instances
* Management of instance firewalls (aka 'security groups')
* Creation and assignment of web proxies for Labs instances
* Assignment of floating IPs to labs instances
* Manipulation of DNS records associated with floating IPs
Some of those workflows have already been removed from the
Wikitech interface; others will be removed in a few weeks after
they've had some time to settle in. In any case, I encourage all labs
project admins to enable 2fa today, and start using Horizon for your
day-to-day labs management. Accounts will continue to be managed on
Wikitech, and credentials are shared between Wikitech and Horizon
Here is a FAQ, in progress, about the transition to Horizon and
changes in what we can and can't do with the new interface:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Horizon_FAQ. Don't hesitate
to write to me with your questions so I can populate that document
with actual questions rather than imagined ones.
In addition to being generally prettier and more feature-rich,
Horizon should be somewhat easier to maintain and fix than the
existing OpenStackManager code running on Wikitech. Additionally,
Horizon is actively maintained by a team of full-time OpenStack
developers, so we'll get periodic updates and improvements from them
with a minimum of work on our part. That said, Horizon is a newish
tool, and our use case differs from the default OpenStack case, so
there will definitely be weird and unexpected behaviors. Please let me
know about these as soon as you find them so I can fix things or file
issues with the upstream developers.
Many thanks to Chris Steipp for writing our 2fa backend, and to
Alex Monk for jumping in at the last minute and building the proxy
dashboard that would otherwise have delayed this project by several
weeks.
-Andrew
