Hello

GitLab will be down this coming Tuesday, 02 May, from 09:00 - 12:00 UTC for the datacenter switchover[0].

Much of this switchover window will be downtime, during which you will be unable to access GitLab through ssh or the web interface.

The process will involve DNS changes and a full backup of the GitLab server in the codfw datacenter, which will then be restored on the GitLab server in the eqiad datacenter.

You can follow along on IRC in the libera.chat #wikimedia-gitlab channel[1].
