Scheduled

Dear All,

Please note that on the Monday 8th April, 06:00 AM UTC, we plan to test the disaster recovery ability of our RDAP service. The test will consist in switching some servers off on a primary site and check that the traffic is temporarily redirected to an alternate location before being switched back to the primary site.

The goal of this test is to validate our load-balancing systems, in order to mitigate disruption of critical services delivery to the greatest degree possible if a disruption due to disaster occurs at all in the future.

Note that during and after the test, we anticipate no disruptions in service accessibility, with DNS changes propagating within 60 seconds. Should you experience any issues during the test period, please let us know immediately so that we can take all the necessary remedial actions.

Regards, The Infrastructure & Security department
