Into the Cloud
Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2024 1:58 pm
Hi, after the extended outage last night (2 hours 39 minutes total), I thought about it, and decided we really need to get us over to a hosted solution sooner rather than later. We will be in the cloud 
on comparable hardware starting tomorrow. This is not the final home of Open RSC, I believe we will still get into a 4U rack space on our current hardware in a couple months, but it's really intolerable to be offline frequently the way we are, (Every other day for the multiple minutes, and apparently sometimes even hours long downtime that Comcast considers acceptable for Businesses) so we need a BETTER temporary solution, and that's what I've gotten for us.
We can expect some scheduled downtime for the website sometime late tonight (as long as Comcast Business isn't offline again). The game servers I will hope will only be down a short time (less than an hour), since I'm setting up a new virtual machine for them instead of transferring the current one.
