Dear IETF Community - For the past two weeks we have been operating out of our backup colocated datacenter, for the dual purposes of (a) testing and verifying that such operation would work as expected, and (b) moving us to upgraded server hardware and operating software. The testing was done at the request of the IETF Leadership, and the upgrades were done as a part of this process, enabling us to make improvements in the services provided to the community. I'm pleased to report that, having reached the end of the two-week period, it appears that everything has gone extremely well. It is now time to bring things back to our primary data center in Fremont, and to the now newly-upgraded-and-cloned servers ready to go here, and we will, as previously announced, perform that process today, Monday, April 25th. As before, we will bring the Orlando server down into a standby mode, do a final controlled synchronization of data from the Orlando server to the Fremont server, update the zone files, and then bring the Fremont server online. This procedure will begin at 1PM Pacific, 4PM Eastern, 2000GMT, and is expected to take approximately 2-3 hours. IETF Leadership will be kept constantly apprised of any delays, and AMS (IETF Secretariat) staff will be working continuously until the process is completed. Please be prepared for this outage today, and plan accordingly. Thank you all for your patience as we bring this upgrade and test to a close.
