For security reasons we will be updating and rebooting many (possibly all) cloud-vps VMs today, over the weekend, and on Monday.

The first step of this will be a reboot of all bastions (including the toolforge login hosts) in about an hour, at 18:30 UTC. That means that all ssh sessions to cloud-vps hosts will be interrupted as proxy sessions are terminated.

After the tools bastion reboots, users of toolforge should not be further affected by these reboots.  All other cloud-vps users can expect at least one more surprise reboot over the next few days. If you need that reboot to be scheduled at a particular time please contact me immediately.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

-Andrew + the WMCS team
