Texas Emergency Maintenance Notification October 20th, 2026

Tag : Texas

Please be advised that we will be conducting patching updates across all Texas nodes in response to recent critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel, known as "Pwnscape". Immediate action is necessary to protect our infrastructure and your services.

MAINTENANCE WINDOW:
DATE: Tuesday, October 20, 2026
TIME: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM EST (-4 UTC)
EXPECTED DOWNTIME: Up to 1 hour

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING:
All KVM nodes are being patched in order to receive the latest Linux kernel. Each node will be safely rebooted requiring all KVMs to gracefully shutdown. Each node typically takes up to 30 minutes to complete the full shutdown and reboot, but may take longer in some situations.

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS?
Feel free to reach out via support ticket if you have any questions or need assistance during the maintenance.

We appreciate your understanding and patience.

UPDATE 2026-10-20 10:00PM: All nodes have fully rebooted. We appreciate all of the patience. If your VM did not automatically boot, please do so from the VM control panel.
