Michael D. Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 We have identified a critical vulnerability in our S5 server's AMD Processors as well as the AMD Processors powering our Plaid Platform, which requires urgent patching. This security measure necessitates a system restart of each node. This will result in approximately 5 to 10 of downtime per node. We understand the value of uninterrupted service and continuously strive for maintenance protocols that cause the least disruption. However, given the nature of this vulnerability, a short downtime period is unavoidable. Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask either here - or directly in a support ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 We will be beginning this maintenance momentarily. I do very much apologize for the short notice on this - the maintenance was supposed to be seamless but due to unforeseen issues we are not able to perform this particular maintenance without interruption.
