Re: Key IETF service outages during transition to new infrastructure on 20 June

[Corinne Cath <corinnecath@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all— 

I was looking for who the provider is of this new cloud infrastructure but could not find any details.

However I’m well aware i might have missed earlier emails.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

As part of moving to a new cloud infrastructure, the IETF Datatracker and related services will be unavailable starting at 1800 UTC on Thursday 20 June. The outages are expected to last no more than 4 hours; updates will be posted when availability resumes.

The following services will transition to the new cloud infrastructure:

   • the IETF Datatracker, 

   • the www.ietf.org website,

   • the IETF Mailarchive, and

   • the IMAP and rsync services.

IMPORTANT: Please do not plan to rely on the IETF Datatracker or the affected systems during the 4-hour window starting at 1800 UTC on Thursday 20 June.

Any service that relies on IETF Datatracker also will be affected. The following services will not be available:

   • the IETF meeting registration system, and

   • any interim meeting sessions that use MeetEcho integrated with the IETF Datatracker.

The following services will be impaired, with any features requiring logging in unavailable:

   • the IETF Notes service (editing notes will not be possible)

   • IETF wikis, including wiki.ietf.org and chairs.ietf.org (editing wiki pages will not be possible)

   • The IETF Zulip service (any new connection will not work)

OF PARTICULAR NOTE: Posting Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) to the IETF repository will be unavailable during the outage; this includes automated posting of I-Ds via the IETF Datatracker API, such as via Github actions in repositories used to develop I-Ds.

Please see this blog post for more details:

https://www.ietf.org/blog/it-infrastructure-outage-2024-06-20/ 

The blog post will be updated once this phase of the IT infrastructure transition is complete.
