Regarding maintenance activities:

  • The database server requires a change in resources.
  • Scheduled upgrade of the message broker system will require a restart of backend services, resulting in a brief service interruption during the maintenance window.
  • We are performing a required infrastructure migration as part of the Tulip lifecycle. This involves moving Tulip services to a new Kubernetes cluster. This migration requires downtime and will include a redeployment of the existing Tulip version for every instance in the region.
  • The Postgres server has to be reconfigured to update backup replication. All services must be shut down to prevent any data changes during the entire maintenance activity.

Please refer to our Maintenance Event Schedule for further information regarding the date and times for regional maintenance windows.

If you have any questions about the maintenance windows please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or the Tulip Support Team
