<p>All,</p>
<p>The upgrade to MySQL (Percona) 5.6 on the mysql1-vip cluster has
been completed successfully! As expected, we had about 40 minutes
of downtime to complete the backup and then about 3 minutes while
we failed over the cluster.</p>
<p>Please reach out if you run into any issues. Expect information
on additional maintenance in the near future.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
