I have forwarded this to the Outages mailing list, so that people who
want to know/get complaints about such things have advance warning.
Cheers,

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Update on Ashburn data center switchover / migration – target date
is week of 1/22/13
All,
The Migration team is in the last lap on completing the remaining
tasks to
ready our software stack and Ashburn infrastructure for the big
switchover
day.
Per my last
update,<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-October/063…
with the Fundraising activity behind us now, the team has scheduled
the *week
of 22nd January*, 2013 to perform the switchover. We are going to
block a
8-hour migration window on the *22nd, 23rd and 24**th*. During those
periods, *17:00 UTC to 01:00 UTC hours (9am to 5pm PST*), there will
be
intermittent blackouts and they will be treated as 'planned' outages.
You
can follow the migration on
irc.freenode.org in the
#wikimedia-operations
channel.
The team is putting the finishing touches to the last few tasks and we
will
make the final Go/No decision on 18th Jan, 2013. An update will send
out
then. For those interested in tracking the progress, the meeting notes
are
captured on this wikitech
page<http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Eqiad_Migration_Planning#Improvi…
.
*Please note that we will be restricting code deployment during that
week,
allowing only emergency and critical ones only.*
Thanks.
CT Woo
