Greetings,
Following the outage that occurred February
7, 2020[1], we've put in place a plan to help avoid such outages in the
future.
Part of that plan is to replace the old
hardware that failed, and replace old hardware that could fail. We've acquired
two new servers and two new firewalls, and all that will be coming online
soon.
What's coming
The new backend servers will feature
multi-master LDAP authentication services. Authentication requests will
become fault-tolerant, and with active  database replication, the
replication issues that affected so many accounts last February will not
happen again. File Servers are equipped with 10-Gigabit Ethernet, for much
needed backend capacity.
The new firewalls, featuring 10-Gigabit
Ethernet, will replace our current Gigabit components. They will be configured
in hot-standby, offering fault tolerance at the edge of our network.
A new Infra Services Status page, which
will replace https://status.eclipse.org/,
will allow us to better communicate -- and allow you to be better informed
of -- outages, incidents, and planned maintenance. 

Planned maintenance
Sunday, April 5 2020 6:00am EDT:there will be sporadic outages for about 2 hours across many of our Tier
I services[2] while we migrate backend data storage and authentication
services to the new devices.
Later in April 2020: there may
be noticeable connection cuts when the new firewalls are put into production.
Chances are, this will be imperceptible to most of our users.
Later in April 2020: the new https://status.eclipse.orgpage will be launched.

What you can do to help
Please help clean up your download.eclipse.org
and archive.eclipse.org areas. This is so important! If you need
assistance, please file a bug[3].

Thanks for your patience and understanding
while we upgrade these key components of our infra. If you have any questions,
please let me know.
