Update

July 18, 8:00pm EDT

On July 18th 2024, from 8 PM to 12 AM, Network services will be migrating Layer 3 routes from the Poca Data Center and over to the TOC Data Center.

This is a required change to meed the deadline of vacating the old Poca Data Center.

During this change systems housed and hosted at the Poca Data Centers will see a momentary outage/blip.

Our execution plan consists of executing smaller changes first and then testing to validate if those changes took place as expected. Once that positive validation is met, we will proceed with further changes. If we run into issues, this change window time will be used to troubleshoot and revert changes before the change window closes.
