[de.NBI Cloud Bielefeld - Production] planned downtime on May 23rd, 2023

06.04.2023 - 09:08
Dear de.NBI Cloud Bielefeld users, Bielefeld University is scheduling its yearly diesel generator/power outage tests on the whole building complex. These tests also affect our cloud infrastructure. In order to protect our hardware from any unexpected power losses or power spikes, we will shut down all compute nodes during the generator tests. The downtime/maintenance is scheduled from May 23rd, 2023 - 12:00 CEST to May 23rd, 2023 - 16:00 CEST All running instances will power off as a result. To prevent any data loss on your instances, please shut them down gracefully in advance. We recommend shutting down instances a few hours (or one day) before the planned schedule as we will start to shut down compute nodes at 12:00 CEST. After maintenance is done, you will be able to start your instances again. Best regards, de.NBI Cloud Bielefeld
