Increased Error Rate for Hosted Chef API [Resolved]

Fri Jun 12 20:42:08 UTC 2013 The Hosted Chef API is now operating normally. An increased error rate occurred from Jun 11 9pm UTC to Jun 12 6pm UTC

Change to Chef-client and Chef-server artifact storage

The s3 bucket where builds are released was switched to “opscode-omnibus-packages”. As a result, we will be removing the old release bucket “opscode-omnitruck-release” on Thursday, May 30 2013. After that date, attempts to download builds from “opscode-omnitruck-release” will fail. Note that both install.sh and the Omnitruck API have been using the new bucket for some time, so if you are not using a custom way to download builds, you will not be impacted.

Planned Maintenance Complete

Mon May 20 18:34:54 UTC 2013 Hosted Chef maintenance is completed.  Service is available.

We had unexpected difficulty during the validation process of the migration, resulting in the extension of the outage window.  

We were able to complete the validation process successfully.  The migration to opscode-bifrost, the new authorization service, is complete and successful.

We apologize for the extension of the outage window.  Thank you for your patience.

Planned Maintenance Ongoing

Mon May 20 18:10:55 UTC 2013 Hosted Chef Maintenance outage window is now extended to 11:30 PDT due to unexpected difficulties during the migration.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

Mon May 20 18:00:22 UTC 2013 Hosted Chef maintenance is ongoing.  Data validation is taking longer than expected.  The outage window is extended by 15 minutes to 11:15 PDT.

Planned Maintenance is starting now

Hosted Chef is completely unavailable from 10 AM PDT to 11 AM PDT while maintenance is being performed.

During this downtime we will deploy opscode-bifrost, a new backend for
Hosted Chef’s authorization service.  Testing shows that this new
backend outperforms the existing backend in terms of latency and
scalability. We will also be finishing maintenance related to a previous hardware failure during this window.
