[Tools-discuss] Key IETF service outages during transition to new infrastructure on 20 June

[Robert Sparks <[e-mail]>]

As part of moving to a new cloud infrastructure, the IETF Datatracker 
and related services will be unavailable starting at 1800 UTC on 
Thursday 20 June. The outages are expected to last no more than 4 hours; 
updates will be posted when availability resumes.


The following services will transition to the new cloud infrastructure:


    • the IETF Datatracker,

    • the www.ietf.org website,

    • the IETF Mailarchive, and

    • the IMAP and rsync services.


IMPORTANT: Please do not plan to rely on the IETF Datatracker or the 
affected systems during the 4-hour window starting at 1800 UTC on 
Thursday 20 June.


Any service that relies on IETF Datatracker also will be affected. The 
following services will not be available:


    • the IETF meeting registration system, and

    • any interim meeting sessions that use MeetEcho integrated with the 
IETF Datatracker.


The following services will be impaired, with any features requiring 
logging in unavailable:


    • the IETF Notes service (editing notes will not be possible)

    • IETF wikis, including wiki.ietf.org and chairs.ietf.org (editing 
wiki pages will not be possible)

    • The IETF Zulip service (any new connection will not work)


OF PARTICULAR NOTE: Posting Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) to the IETF 
repository will be unavailable during the outage; this includes 
automated posting of I-Ds via the IETF Datatracker API, such as via 
Github actions in repositories used to develop I-Ds.

transition is complete.
