    We have completed maintenance for today, this extension saw no external loss to production switches. We have made a lot of real, meaningful progress today. We are around the home stretch now, simply a few things to tidy up before we push more live traffic to onsite!

    We will be continuing our work again tomorrow at 9:00 AM Central to avoid any potential interruptions during peak hours.

    Hello everyone, apologies for the short notice but we will be extending the previous maintenance for a few more hours.

    Why? Today we’ve made some crazy good progress, and we think onsite can realistically be done very soon. Everything is online we even have some live traffic being pushed to it.

    To iterate again, this will be the solution for us to attempt to seamlessly move traffic from the global upstream to our localized mitigation stack when they have issues. Effectively keeping uptime with as little to no drops as possible. Thank you for bearing with us, we will send out some cool pictures soon

    At specifically 9AM Central Time we will be continuing development with our onsite network. We apologize for any interruptions this may cause, we are doing this early in the AM to ensure we impact as little traffic as possible.

    We understand the frequent issues from upstream isn't making this an easy pill to swallow, but we must continue work on this to ensure we are independent from future network issues once Onsite goes live.

    To give context on what onsite will bring for those who may have missed it:

    Ezrinix Onsite DDoS Protection will allow us to have a localized Path environment that will be isolated from the global network. This will allow us to attempt to seamlessly, without dropping traffic move between the global network and local network when needed.

    Take for example the issues that we have been facing now, these are all from the global network with Onsite we would be-able to push traffic onto our local mitigation stack, effectively isolating us from global network issues, ensuring full uptime. This also works in reverse, if the local network was to go offline for some reason, we would route back onto the global network, while again attempting to not drop any traffic.

    This system is extremely complex, and has been under development for a while now, we are speeding up progress but also doing so at the least impactful times, we understand no downtime is ideal, however this must be done in order to ensure we have a fully redundant network. I am sure everyone is tired of these upstream issues, we are too, and we truly believe onsite is the solution we are all looking for.
