This interruption is still likely to happen today, but it will be
somewhat delayed. Current signs suggest it will happen 30-40 minutes
from now, at around 15:30 UTC.

On Thursday we will be upgrading the network

routes network traffic for all cloud-vps and toolforge networking.
This will involve at least one failover between hosts, which will
interrupt existing network connections.
There should not be a prolonged network outage, but some connections
will be reset. If your tools or services are not resilient to
unexpected disconnections, you may need to manually restart services
after the updates are complete.
The changeover will happen sometime between 14:00 and 15:00 UTC this
coming Thursday. Details about this can be found at
