Hi,
You must have noticed slowness or breakages with review.trustedfirmware.org or git.trustedfirmware.org during the week.
There are high and lows of network bandwidth usage affecting server availability.
The issue is being investigated but not yet 100% root caused.
Apologies for the frustration and inconvenience that this is causing.
Rest assured the team is on board to resolve this unfortunate situation.
Regards,
Olivier.
Hello all,
This*Thursday, 20th March at 13:30 UTC* we will be doing some Kubernetes
cluster maintenance where the following LAVA instances run:
* "staging.validation.linaro.org"
* "lkft-staging.validation.linaro.org"
* "validation.linaro.org"
* "lava.morello-project.org"
* "ledge.validation.linaro.org"
* "tf.validation.linaro.org"
* "lkft.validation.linaro.org"
* "iotil.validation.linaro.org"
* "demo-rh.lavacloud.io"
This*does not modify the instances nor their workers in any way*, just
the underlying infra/. /During the process the instances/API endpoints
might not be reachable.
This is a major upgrade and its duration will be lengthier than usual -
around *1h to 1h30m*.
Apologies for the last minute announcement - this is an urgent operation
related to a recent AWS release.
As usual we will give a heads up once it's finished.
Thanks for your collaboration.
Regards,

Hello all,
We will be upgrading the TF LAVA instance to the latest 2024.09 release
this Thursday (14/11) at 10:30AM UTC. Both the server and workers will
be upgraded.
Expected downtime is around 30 minutes. We will let you know once
everything is back online.
Thanks for your collaboration.

Hello all,
I'd like to apologize for any spam email messages you may have received
from 'developer.trustedfirmware.org' recently.
This was a server that had been retired several months that used to house
the project's wiki. In an attempt to recover a document the server was put
back online a short while ago. Unfortunately the mail service was left
operational, and the web application began catching up on a backlog of
messages and notifications.
Once the problem was discovered, I shutdown the mail daemon on the server
and have blocked all outbound mail traffic while I attempt to remove
additional unsent messages.
I apologize for the oversight that let this happen, and want to assure you
that this was a unique event.
Please reach out to me if you have any concerns.
Thanks,

Hello all,
We are currently undergoing infrastructure (Kubernetes) maintenance
currently, which will affect the LAVA instance. The instance will be
taken down in about 10 minutes and the expected downtime should be of
around 45 minutes.
Thanks for your collaboration. Once the maintenance is finished, we will
announce.

Greetings, Yesterday the gerrit server on review.trustedfirmware.org
experienced
significant downtime outside of any announced or scheduled maintenance windows
starting around 5pm UTC.
The downtime was caused by ansible deployment that was run to make some
configuration changes and install a plugin. The deployment made several
unintentional upgrades to other external plugins which were incompatible
with our environment and prevented gerrit from restarting.
As a result, for a 12 hour period the gerrit server was either off line or
highly unstable. As of 5am UTC today, gerrit had been returned to its
original state and resumed stable operation.
I apologize for the unannounced downtime and any inconvenience that it
caused, and we are reviewing the events to ensure a similar situation
doesn't occur again,
Regards,

FYI at the weekend I ran an OpenCI Performance test to see if the Tuxsuite AWS changes for running FVP based TF-A tests helps with the management of load and execution times over running the FVP tests on physical servers.
In short it does help!

Hello all,
My name is Luís and I'm part of the Deployments team.
We will be migrating the TF LAVA instance from its current deployment to
our new, Kubernetes-based platform, this Friday (09/02) at 9:30 (AM) UTC.
This means that the tf.validation.linaro.org service will be down for
the expected downtime of 2 to 3 hours. This is just a migration so no
down/upgrades or configuration changes to LAVA will happen.
Once the service is back online we'll announce it. Thanks for your
collaboration.
Regards,
