Rackspace has been patching their Xen stuff for a little over a week now.
It's nice having a multi-region / multi-provider setup otherwise the typical Rackspace reboot window (much like UPS deliveries or the cable guy) would've been a pain in the ass.
- anthony_franco 11y agoWhat's your general setup to achieve the multi-provider redundancy?
- gibsonje 11y agoWe deploy to a single region. This maintenance was a major pain in the ass. We got a notice 72 hours ahead of time (only 1 business day ahead of time) that around 60% of all of our hosts failed live migration and would be rebooted.
- upbeatlinux 11y ago@gibsonje - similar experience here. Except Rackspace gave notice about a week ahead. The day maintenance was scheduled for it was postponed but without notice. Then the reboots happened across 3 days as opposed to 1 day. Glad they are patching but that's not really fanatical support.
