Hi,
Some of you actually use our DevCloud (https://wiki.centos.org/DevCloud) as a playground/sandbox environment when willing to test some deployments/scratch operations.
We want you to notice that we'll completely refresh that environment next week, so DevCloud itself will be unavailable during the reinstall phase, but also all VMs currently running in that environment will also be destroyed (it's a "cloud" and for dev/testing so everything could be considered ephemeral )
Details of the migration: - setting up two new dedicated storage boxes (each using SSD disks for faster storage backend for the provisioned VMs) - reinstalling the hypervisors from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7 - migrating to RDO/OpenStack (Ocata release) - DevCloud users rights in OpenStack will be synced from ACO (https://accounts.centos.org)
Due to the fact that we also have to remove some physical components from some nodes to other nodes, we'll have to shutdown the whole environment.
The maintenance window is scheduled for """"Tuesday August 1st, 2:00 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2017-08-01 14:00 UTC')
We'll do our best to keep the maintenance window as short as possible, but we also have a lot of things to reconfigure behind the scene (including new network switches). We'll announce when the new DevCloud environment will be available and ready to be used.
All users are so encouraged to save what they want/need before that date, as everything will disappear. Should you have questions, feel free to contact me on irc, or answer to this thread

Hi,
Just to let DevCloud users (but some already tested the new infra) know that migration to RDO/OpenStack is complete, and that the dedicated wiki page https://wiki.centos.org/DevCloud has been converted to openstack cli commands.
Cheers,
