ORKA maintenance 10/19/23 between 4-8AM EST #3526
Description
We received a notification in the email inbox about it:
Hello. We are reaching out to let you know that we will be performing a maintenance on your Orka environment on 10/19/23 between 4AM EST and 8AM EST that may cause the API of your Orka cluster to become unresponsive for a small time. This maintenance is required as we roll out a new monitoring solution that is integrated into our backend asset management tools as well as presenting enhanced metrics to you directly through the MacStadium portal. We apologize for the inconvenience and will notify you once the maintenance is complete. Thank you for your understanding.
Implications
Not sure if this will affect the Orka nodes as we only use the API to start/stop/redeploy... but the API is not used once the machines are deployed and operational.
This may impact the following machines
- release-orka-macos10.15-x64-1
- release-orka-macos11-x64-1
- test-orka-macos10.15-x64-1
- test-orka-macos10.15-x64-2
- test-orka-macos11-x64-1
- test-orka-macos11-x64-2
- test-orka-macos12-x64-1
Next actions
Currently, we don't need to perform any preparation. Just wait until the maintenance is concluded and review that the machines are back online.
jenkins-alerts will check these downtimes and recovery, but only for the test machines. The release machines are not yet monitored (see: nodejs/jenkins-alerts#262).
