The team and I at Amplifi.io just wanted to take a moment and apologize for the disruption to your work on April 6th.
Root Cause:
Virtualization system vendor code issue revealed.
On April 6th early AM, our development operations team confirmed Upload/Download service became unresponsive due to a condition that exposed a code issue on our virtualization system.
Resolution and Recovery:
Team utilized the vendor’s help understand and deploy a temporary solution. It was decided that the fix would be faster than a fail-over event. Team cleaned up the "stalled" containers responsible for routing issues. Team then recreated the service stack (portal, api, indexing listener, upload, download) as part of the recovery. The fix took approximately 5 hours.
**
Corrective and Preventative Measures:**
Our team has completed maintenance checks and reviewed the outage with the vendor. Vendor has now released an update to permanently rectify this issue. Amplifi.io team will implement this update to prevent this issue from happening in the future.
We will be planning several short maintenance windows overnight Pacific Time on the next two weekends to implement the vendor’s updates.
**
Related Upcoming Planned Maint. Windows:**
April 10/11 - 3 hours around midnight Pacific Time.
April 17/18 - 3 hours around midnight Pacific Time.
We expect to upload/download services to be offline at these times. Please plan your bulk uploads and downloads to avoid these time frames.
Thanks for your understanding and continued support as we better our technology and offerings.
Best Regards,
Ken Garff, CPO/CEO
