Summary:
The upload and webstats servers will be rebooted due to a kernel upgrade. As a result, the servers will be unavailable for a short period of time. This will not affect the reachability of your website(s) on our platform.

Details:
To fix a performance problem in the shared filesystem CephFS, it's necessary to do kernel upgrades on the upload and webstats servers. This requires rebooting the servers which will cause the upload server and the webstats link (/bit-awstats) to be unavailable for a few minutes. Cronjobs which are scheduled in the maintenance window might not be executed.
