[Cloud-announce] Re: Network maintenance

Hi there, We are currently working on replacing older hardware servers with newer ones, in particular those dedicated to cloud networking [0]. We have discovered a few shortcomings related mostly to network interface naming in the newer servers, and the latest openstack version behaving differently to what it used to be, and also some base operating system (debian) bugs [1]. Some of these are hardware-dependant and difficult to reproduce/anticipate in our staging environment. The result is that we are having a more challenging and noisy migration than we would like. We already had a few (brief) network outages trying to introduce the new servers into service. We'll try to keep things as stable as possible in the next few days until the migration is completed, but we can't discard having some more (brief) network outages until we are safely on the other side of the transition. I'll send another note when we finish this network maintenance is over.
