MySQL Maintenance: Thur 17 April 22:00-23:00 8 Apr 08

We’ll be doing some maintenance work on the MySQL cluster next Thursday, the 17th April starting at 22:00 and taking around an hour. There will be a couple of seconds interruption to service at 22:00 as we switch between cluster nodes, then a few more seconds as we switch back at around 23:00.  We’ll keep you up to date as usual using the status feed.

The maintenance is to apply some software updates but we’re taking the opportunity to do some MySQL performance tuning at the same time.
