Deploy Plan for the Week of 2020-12-07 (Updated 2020-12-09 16:30 PST)

Guess I'll have to wait till more MP sellers are affected by the listing error before something is done about it.

Where are the Deploy schedules for main/release regions listed for week 12/28/20 ? I had thought the Lab was on holiday break but see regions red marked offline now .

[Miller Thor]

@Cam Mode Regions that have not been restarted for more than 10 days will be restarted automatically. Even if the employees of Linden Labs are in the Christmas holidays, or no Deploy takes place.

Those restarts presumably evidence the return, as predicted by Mazidox Linden, of the fabled Grid-poking Bot.

[Cam Mode]

Nice theory but regions that had been rebooted in last 12 hours and had only been at 6 days from last reboot before *that *went down for over an hour. Why the long down time if no new code?

Maybe, maybe not. My home region (Nuggy) hasn't been restarted since the 11th this month.

Hmm.  I'm going to stick my neck out here and I fully expect it to be hacked at by someone who knows better, but here goes.

Do we know that LL enginneers actually perform the Sim-server restarts or is it possibly technicians of Amazon Web Services (AWS) who do thie job?

If so is the communication between Linden Lab and AWS sufficiently robust?

As a result, is it possible that hapless AWS engineers are restarting their servers in the assumption that that is what they should be doing?

Let me wonder a bit further... Are region restarts due to hardware reboots or most times they're just a software restart? Because if it's software restart, then I don't think Amazon is allowed to do that.

[EDIT] When I used to run a couple Opensim regions (offline) on my PC, and needed to restart some, I never rebooted the PC itself.

The thread about regions disappearing was locked , with no answer/update - nothing showing on the Grid status page - we had regions down for 12 + hours earlier this week.  Where's transparency? The region has no clothes.

They are improving, though... From the 30th December 2019 to the 2nd January 2020 I had my home region (Nuggy) more or less unusable, as no scripts would work there. I filed two support tickets that never got a response, not even after the issue was fixed.

[EDIT] 12 hours was half a day in Australia and New Zealand (OK, it's half a day everywhere but you know what I mean).
