Routine network upgrades are scheduled for Thursday which may result in brief WMCS service interruptions. In particular, Wikitech and Horizon may stop working, and instance creation/deletion/updating may briefly fail.
The network engineers have reserved a two-hour window beginning at 16:00 UTC (9 AM Pacific time). Their worst case scenario is 30 minutes of downtime but if all goes well the interruption should not be noticeable, just the time to unplug a cable from one switch and plug it into another.
Reminder: There will be some brief service interruptions, starting in about an hour. We don't expect VMs or Toolforge tools to be affected by this.
