Yes, I tink that a banner would be preferable, but i
think that a notice on
the homepage would be a reasonable backup option.
Thanks - Unfortunately I don't know if that is possible on Etherpad, I
don't have the knowledge to do so.
Maybe I can put an User-Notice tag on the phabricator task, so more people
would be aware of that brief interruption?
Again, we are expecting 5-10 seconds of read-only time.
Thanks,
Manuel.

Hello Pine,
Yes, etherpad will be read-only for a few seconds (5-10 seconds)
I don't know if it is possible to put a banner on Etherpad itself, is
that
what you mean?
Thanks
Manuel.

(while we re-load the haproxy) - during those few seconds, the
following
services
will be on read-only:
bacula
etherpadlite
librenms
puppet
racktables
rt
Communication will happen at #wikimedia-operations
If you are around at that time and want to help with the monitoring,
please
join us!
Thanks
