Another Major Xen Security Issue
-
Most everyone knows that MangoLassi runs on Xen on OpenStack on Rackspace. Well, bad news, another Xen vulnerability has been identified and the platform needs to be updated. So we have an emergency restart coming in the next week that we will not be controlling. Nothing to be done about it, I am afraid. Last time, no one really noticed the forced reboot, the process is extremely fast. So just letting everyone know, it is coming.

@scottalanmiller since this is a Xen issue, this will affect all RackSpace hosted services?

All cloud hosted ones, yes.

Hopefully it is like last time and no one even notices. Xen reboots only take a few seconds.

In theory the disruption will be incredibly minor.

Looks like we just went through the reboot. Site is back.
