DDoS Protection Software Update

Scheduled for Aug 30, 15:15 - 16:15 CEST

Scheduled

We will carry out maintenance on our DDoS protection infrastructure.

What we are doing
We will deploy software updates to our redundant scrubbing cluster. Filter appliances will be taken out of production and updated one by one to ensure mitigation capacity is always sufficient. After each update, functionality will be verified before we move on to the next filter.

Expected impact
No customer impact is expected, but it cannot be ruled out entirely. Idle (inactive) connections/sessions may time out; active ones should not, as they are synchronized during the startup of a new software release. If you notice anything unusual, such as timeouts of active sessions or the inability to connect to your server, please contact our support.

Affected customers
All IP prefixes routed through our DDoS protection (which is the default).

Fallback plan
Should the update fail and cause issues, we will disconnect the respective filters within a few seconds.
