[Labs-announce] Wikitech outage Friday 2015-02-05 at 15:00 UTC

[Andrew Bogott]

     wikitech.wikimedia.org will be unavailable for a short time on 
Friday, beginning around 7AM San Francisco time while we apply kernel 
updates and reboot[1].  Ideally the downtime will only last 5-10 minutes 
but I've scheduled an hour window on the deploy calendar in case any of 
the boxes have trouble reviving.

     Labs instances and Toollabs services should not be affected. Some 
alerts may fire during the window as we're planning to reboot one of the 
monitoring hosts and the effects of that are unpredictable.

     In case of emergency, the content of wikitech (minus some images) 
is always available on the external backup:

holmium, labcontrol1002, labnet1001, labmon1001
