[AoC:ALL] - Monthly Maintenance Notice - March 2026

 

We will be applying monthly patches across our backend infrastructure starting at Saturday, March 21, 2026 02:00 PM UTC. The maintenance period is expected to last for 10 Hours total. In scope for this maintenance window are the following changes:

  • Aspera on Cloud Control Plane
    • Rolling restart of kubernetes worker nodes to apply latest OS patches
    • Upgrade of several backend service deployments to apply new application patches
  • Aspera Transfer Clusters
    • OS upgrade on ATS cluster nodes

Monthly patching is necessary for us to be on top of the latest security fixes for the software we run. A monthly cadence ensures that we remediate vulnerabilities within a timely window.

Since there is rolling restart of the backend infrastructure serving the AoC API during this time, there may be times that backend services become unavailable as processes get restarted and re-s‹huffled around. API calls, including those that start transfers, might fail during this time, or events being ingested may take longer to be processed. However, it is expected that these interruptions should self-resolve quickly. If you experience a prolonged interruption during this time, please open a support ticket. The Devops team will be actively monitoring the upgrade during this time.
