Due to infrastructure maintenance and security upgrades, the ~okeanos service will be disrupted between 18:00 and 20:00 EET on Wednesday, March 16.

Any running virtual machines will be temporarily shut down during maintenance and automatically restarted afterwards.

Keep in mind that you should restart any running services that won't start automatically after a reboot.

We are sorry for the inconvenience,

Hi ~okeanos users,

A new critical vulnerability in glibc has recently been discovered. This security issue is a stack-based buffer overflow problem, which can be exploited by malicious users to execute code remotely. This affects all Linux systems.

Because of this, we strongly advise you to update immediately the glibc packages in your operating system and restart your virtual machines immediately after the updates.

In order to update Debian and Debian derivative systems you may execute:

We'd like to inform you about scheduled network maintenance in our Datacenter between 16:00-18:00 EEST on Friday, Jan 22 2016.

Your VMs and Pithos+ files should remain unaffected. The maintenance is expected to cause minor disruptions to the ~okeanos service, with transient loss of connectivity to the VMs, Cyclades and Pithos+ Web UIs and their APIs.
We cannot e xclude longer periods of connectivity loss within this window, but we will strive to keep them to a minimum.

Thanks for your understanding,
the ~okeanos team

The upgrades are necessary to improve our services.
