tl;dr
Optimizing the Operating System (Ubuntu) running on the servers which host everything in order to improve performance further. No downtime expected if all goes well, but if something goes wrong then there may be a ~20 minute outage due to needing to restore the servers from snapshot images I'll be taking prior to the maintenance window.
Why?
In order to optimize performance and make better use of memory / RAM on the servers which will lead to even more efficient servers.
Expected Impact
I expect there to be no impact to users if all goes well, however in the event that anything goes wrong I will need to restore the servers from snapshot images in which case there will be a short window of downtime, approximately 20 minutes in the worst case scenario.
Questions? Concerns?
If there are any concerns with the timing of the maintenance window or if you have any questions at all, please reach out to me via email: dustin@d19.ca
