[Hosting] Scheduled Network Maintenance – Thursday, May 14th, 12:00–2:00 PM PDT (19:00–21:00 UTC)

[Lance Albertson]

Short update on this (I need to run home).

I believe we have this mostly working. The only remaining issue seems to be
that IPv6 with SLAAC isn't working properly. We're waiting to hear back
from an Arista tech for a solution. I'll send a more detailed message later
once we figure everything out.

Thanks again for your patience and I apologize for the extended outage
window.

Thanks-
