[SAC] [Hosting] OSL managed host firewall migration - Tue, May 25, 2pm PDT (2100 UTC)

[Lance Albertson]

All,

I wanted to send an end of the day update.

We have completed just over 88% of the migration and will stop for the day.
We will continue tomorrow in the morning. As it stands now, we aren't aware
of any customer facing issues but please let us know if there are any.

Thanks!
