Please provide details as applicable:

What will this instance be used for, who will be the target audience?

 Moving some publicity projects from self hosting (my own) for ease of access for other DDs. The team is also starting to build out our Infrastructure and a development server will become a needed tool.

Who will maintain this service? Will it be team maintained?

 I (donald) will maintain the service, Paulo Santana (phls) is always my second admin on everything, Carlos Henrique Lima Melara (charles) will also require access to the vps.

What will you use for backups?

 rsync.net and offsite self hosting.

Will you be adding this service to https://wiki.debian.org/Services along with a service page under that name space? (this is not essential, but see this as a reminder to do so if appropriate for the service)

 Most likely. We also have a cryptpad instance that we are considering to transfer to this proposed VPS. This will depend on a security review from the team/admins.
