Our network uplink provider announced an emergency maintenance, affecting our backup data center (RZHAL) and its affiliated services. Additionally, this will **affect alerting for all VMs**. During the maintenance window, we expect about 30min of real network downtime.
All checks and alerting need to be silenced during that hour, even for VMs in RZOB, to prevent false alerts.
These additional services will be affected as well:
* Our emergency hotline * Emergency emails * Customer-specified service checks (as shown on https://my.flyingcircus.io) * Our Matrix chat * gitlab.flyingcircus.io (which may affect automated deployments) * hydra.flyingcircus.io (which may affect automated deployments and system updates using "fc-manage")

This scheduled maintenance affects: Emergency Channels (Hotline, Support emails), Central services, gitlab.flyingcircus.io, and RZHAL (backup and development data center) (Network and Internet uplink).
