Important maintenance on Public Cloud/VPS underway for several days

Hello,

It seems we will receive an official statement about what is happening right now after the urgent operation on the OpenStack/KVM cloud that will last several days/nights.

I mentioned one possible reason in a comment, but probably we shouldn’t discuss it publicly for the time being.

But it looks like the urgent need coincided with another planned operation that is also complicated.

Did you see the message from Oles ?

Yes, I saw.

I had 2 servers with 2 or 3 alerts each in total over a day/night. The operation looks delicate.

Yes, OVHcloud is undergoing a full technical transformation :flexed_biceps:

It looks like a rescue, it would be “only” the security patch, and it seems to take a very long time to apply.

They are talking about 100K physical servers

for those who haven’t seen it, the debrief:
