    Timing The maintenance window started on April 8, 2019, and will complete on April 26, 2019. All maintenance will occur between 18:00 and 06:00 local data center time.

    Customer Impact The following describes what happens to connected clients, depending on the access method used:

  • Explicit proxy / Unified Agent / Proxy Forwarding: The service automatically redirects connections to other active resources within the same data center or geographic location. No customer action is required for failover to occur*.
  • IPSec: A brief failover delay may occur as we redirect traffic to other active resources within the data center. No customer action is required for failover to occur*.
  • During the last day of the maintenance window, administrators actively using the WSS Portal may need to re-authenticate.

    *Oslo and Tel Aviv customers: Please ensure you have a backup tunnel to an alternate data center prior to the deployment.

    Service Impact This maintenance will be performed on all service components within each data center, these components will be upgraded in rotation, preserving service at each data center at all times*.

    *Oslo, and Tel Aviv will remain down while being upgraded.
