It’s time to renew our AWS EC2 reserved instance for the SCW Discourse server, so I’m doing a quick shift over to the new instance. If everything goes well there shouldn’t be more than a couple of minutes of forum downtime. The main SCW & Eyewall sites (along with the app) should all be unaffected, though comments may intermittently vanish while I’m doing the cutover. Hopefully it’ll go quick and nothing explodes!

…and we’re back. Everything seems to have come over OK and Discourse is reporting no problems. Please let me know if anyone sees any weirdness over the next few days!
