Scheduled Maintenance
Regular Weekly Maintenance - GovCMS Jul 30, 2024 22:00 - Jul 31, 2024 05:00 AEST
We are conducting regular maintenance on our systems.

GovCMS will be updating the MySQL version for the development database cluster from MySQL 5.7 compatible to MySQL 8.0 compatible during this window.

To minimise the impact for your website, this maintenance is being scheduled out of business hours. During this time, there will be an outage of up to one hour for your feature branches only. Any content editing or development in the feature branches will be impacted.

Following the successful completion of the MySQL 8.0 update on the development cluster, GovCMS plans to roll out the update on the production cluster during the regular infrastructure maintenance window 10:00PM AEST 27 August 2024 – 6:00AM AEST 28 August 2024.

If you have any concerns, raise a Service Desk ticket. Also, don't forget to stay up to date by subscribing for notifications at the GovCMS Status page.

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 1: Deployments during maintenance window

- While the production block is on, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches.
- PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Update local environments
- Ensure you update your local environments to the latest release. Not rebasing your codebase results in mismatched database configuration causing errors in forklifts and deployments.

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 3: For customers with configuration management enabled
- The latest configuration from your production database has been created for you in GitLab in a branch called action-required/latest-config-export.
- You need to review and test the changes in the merge request. Once you are satisfied, please check the “Delete source branch” box and click “Merge”.
- This MUST be done before any new commits.
- All subsequent deployments will be blocked in the CI pipeline until this merge request branch is deleted
- Not merging the latest configuration provided could result in your new database configuration reverting to an older version when you next deploy, potentially causing issues for your website.
- If no merge request is lodged after a release then no configuration has changed and no further action is required.
