Network Maintenance: Firmware Update on Switches in Region LPG from 2021-03-22 22:00 CET to 2021-03-23 01:00 CET

On Monday evening, 2021-03-22, we will update the firmware of our data center switches in region LPG (Lupfig). During this maintenance work you may experience short periods of packet loss (usually just a few seconds) or higher RTTs for connections from and towards the Internet and between virtual servers (even when using the private network interface), as well as short delays for I/O operations to SSD/Bulk volumes and our Object Storage in that specific region.

Date / Time
Monday, 2021-03-22, 22:00 to Tuesday, 2021-03-23, 01:00 (CET)

Expected Impact
Short periods of packet loss (usually just a few seconds) or higher RTTs for connections towards the Internet and between virtual servers, as well as short I/O delays.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
