Hello, We will perform maintenance on Gerrit on Monday, Feb. 16, from 09:00 to 10:00 UTC. During this window, we expect a ~30-minute write outage while we switch over Gerrit's service from the current primary (gerrit1003) to the spare host (gerrit2003). To make sure the downtime stays minimal, we’ll run warmup transfers and the emergency local backup ahead of time. The web UI downtime on the read-only primary instance has been fixed, so reviews and code will be browsable during most of the switchover.
As before, we’ll perform the switchover live with Release Engineering. This operation will allow us to unblock a few things: - System daemon user: gerrit2 → gerrit (T338470) - OS upgrade (T392464, T384595), Java (T392465) version update and Gerrit (T379714, T392448) version update *Expected impact:* A ~30-minute read-only window; reads (browsing, cloning, reviewing) should remain fine. Pushes, votes, comments, etc. will be blocked during that period. We’ll post start/end updates during the window. *Links:* - Documentation: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gerrit/Operations#Switch_over - Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T387833 - Deployment Calendar: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#deploycal-item-20260216T0900 Best, -- *Arnaud Bran* (he/him) Senior Site Reliability Engineer Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
