[Announce] Chameleon Cloud infrastructure offline May 8 - 10

[Mike Packard]

Due to construction at the TACC datacenter, power will be cut from the Chameleon Cloud infrastructure from May 8, 2015 at 16:00 CDT until May 10 at 16:00 CDT. Both Alamo KVM (Futuregrid transition FG at Chameleon, https://horizon.chameleon.tacc.utexas.edu <https://horizon.chameleon.tacc.utexas.edu/>) & Technology Preview (https://ironic.chameleon.tacc.utexas.edu <https://ironic.chameleon.tacc.utexas.edu/>) clouds will be shut down during this time. The Chameleon web site (https://www.chameleoncloud.org <https://www.chameleoncloud.org/>) will remain up.

All users should shut down their instances prior to the downtime; any left running will be stopped administratively. Users will be able to restart their instances after the downtime.

Please submit a ticket to the Chameleon Help Desk (https://www.chameleoncloud.org/user/help/) if you have any questions about preparation for the outage.

Mike Packard
