Scheduled
We will be performing a major impact software upgrade to the CloudControl API in the Australia Geographic Region on Monday April 29th starting at the normal software upgrade window:

CloudControl Software Change Id: CCOCHANGE-95
Date: Monday April 29, 2019
Time: 09:00 PM Australia Eastern Standard (11:00 UTC)
Expected Total Duration: 10 hours

This major impact software upgrade involves migrating the CloudControl API and FTPS infrastructure supporting the Australia (AU) Geographic Region from the AU1 (Sydney MCP 1.0) infrastructure to the AU9 (Sydney MCP 2.0) infrastructure.

The impacts of this change are as follows:

1) At the start of the maintenance window, the CloudControl API will be put into maintenance. All Cloud Servers and Networks you've deployed will be unaffected. However, the CloudControl API will be unavailable during the software upgrade for the duration listed above.

2) The CloudControl UI will remain available but will be unable to process requests in the Australia Geographic Region during the window. Requests for other Geographic Regions will NOT be affected - only requests for the Australia Geographic Region will be affected.

3) When the maintenance is over, the CloudControl API and FTPS servers will be answering on new IP addresses in the AP9 location. DNS records will be updated in conjunction with the change but if users have hard-coded the CloudControl API IP addresses, implemented firewall rules controlling access to the API address, or maintain their own DNS mappings that will not pick up the Public DNS change, they will need to update those IP references to support the new IP address after the migration. The specific IP changes that will be made are:

https://api-au.dimensiondata.com moving from 103.23.112.222 to 168.128.32.98
ftp://ftps-au.cloud-vpn.net/ moving from 103.23.112.202 to 168.128.32.100

4) In conjunction with the migration, the CloudControl API is ceasing support for a subset of legacy, insecure cipher suites. We are also deprecating other cipher suites for which we will cease support on June 1, 2019. For details, see the following article:
