Any chance of having something similar ported to releases before Xenial (Trusty and friends)?
We're getting alerts for our archive mirrors as well as our cloud mirrors whenever there's USNs for the Linux kernel, Firefox, and a couple of other large packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1554848 Title: Please randomise automatic updates over a longer period Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in apt source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: Load on the main Ubuntu archive servers is rather peakish, and tends to create a traffic peak on our Internet links at fairly regular times each day, preventing customers from accessing the archive. This impacts the cloud archive mirrors using the ubuntu-repository-cache charm also, because they are hitting a squid cache which is backed by the main archive. This effect will be even more pronounced under the recently-announced automatic update policy for xenial. One solution which would alleviate this to some extent would be to spread the load over a longer period by increasing the random sleep time in the daily update script from 30 minutes to, say, 1-2 hours.
