Database Cluster Maintenance

December 02, 11:00pm AST
Student Services Slate Enrollment Service
 
Dec-2, 11:00pm AST
We will be upgrading production database servers for ARES, EROS, OPUS, and LUNA overnight on Friday into Saturday and will be performing routine system maintenance during this time as well. There will be a brief service interruption as production databases failover to standby infrastructure and then again as they fail back following the upgrade. Due to the nature of the upgrade affecting a central resource on ARES, some specific types of actions on other database clusters may also be briefly affected during the failover.

Service interruption to databases on ARES

November 18, 3:03pm AST
Student Services Slate Enrollment Service
 
Nov-18, 3:03pm AST
We are currently investigating this issue.
 
Nov-18, 3:21pm AST
Normal operations have been restored to databases on the ARES cluster. We continue to investigate the underlying cause of the earlier interruption and will provide an update in the near future.
 
Nov-18, 3:21pm AST
Earlier this afternoon, at approximately 1:30pm Eastern Time, the ARES database cluster lost connectivity to its disks as a result of an intermittent network interruption in the AWS infrastructure. This resulted in databases on this cluster being unavailable while network connectivity was restored. All databases are operating within normal ranges at this time, and we are continuing to monitor the ARES cluster. Due to the ARES cluster hosting a primary configuration database for Slate, this event may have also impacted some operations with databases on other clusters. These other clusters already contain replicas of the configuration data, and we will be accelerating our scheduled plan to utilize these replicas more fully to minimize any potential for future impact.

Increased latency for databases on LUNA cluster

September 27, 1:51pm ADT
Student Services Slate Enrollment Service
 
Sep-27, 1:51pm ADT
We are investigating increased latency for databases on the LUNA cluster, which appears to be the result of increased disk latency in AWS for this particular node.
 
Sep-27, 5:10pm ADT
Earlier today, elevated latency was observed for databases on the LUNA cluster. This appears to have been the result of a temporary hardware/network issue within the AWS infrastructure that resulted in increased latency for transaction log writes to the storage infrastructure. Performance levels have been within normal ranges for the past hour, and we will continue to monitor the storage volumes. Should increased latency be observed again, we will transition the cluster to new hardware with AWS.
