Greetings,
You are receiving this email because you are in the Fedora Project Communishift system group that tracks users who have been granted provisioning ability in Communishift.
We would like to notify you of some upcoming extended downtime for the communishift cluster. As some of you may know, later this year the Fedora Project is moving entirely out of our main datacenter in Phoenix, AZ, USA (where the communishift cluster is currently located).
We explored various options to migrate the cluster to minimize downtime, but we just don't have extra hardware or resources to setup a duplicate cluster anywhere currently. So, unfortunately, that means we will need to power off the cluster, ship it to a new datacenter and bring it back up there.
The estimated timeline for this looks like:
2020-04-13 - power off, derack, pack and ship 2020-04-20 - Arrival at new DC (or before) 2020-04-23 - Unpack, re-rack, cable, network 2020-04-30 - Reconfigure/reinstall 2020-05-08 - fully back in service
Note that these dates are subject to shipping and availability of people to rack and setup and other items beyond our control. We will update the following ticket with progress/status:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue//8748
To be ready for this outage, we recommend you back up all your application configuration and data. Due to network changes we may have to reinstall the cluster and thus you may need to reload your applications/data.
You can find information on this at: https://docs.openshift.com/dedicated/3/admin_guide/assembly_backing-up-resto...
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you during this move or if you have any questions for us.
kevin
