Folks,
You're likely aware of a massive outage
currently taking place. It is affecting many services, notably
user authentication, CI (Jenkins) and the ECA validation.
While investigating a performance issue
with our high-availability storage cluster, that same technology
which was intended to not fail has, disappointingly, failed. The
team is working feverishly to restore the cluster, and in the
interim, is reverting to legacy storage to restore some services
more rapidly.
Unfortunately, the demands on storage
from CI are quite large, both
in terms of capacity as well as operations/second, and cannot be
restored to legacy storage.
We're so very sorry that this has
happened. We understand how incredibly disruptive this is to
your ability to do work. As usual, once service is restored,
we'll analyse and assess what happened so that we can revise our
strategy, and share the details with you.
In the meanwhile, I encourage you to
follow updates at https://www.eclipsestatus.io/ (below the fold
are the maintenance and outage events).
