Hello!

GitLab will be down this coming Monday, 8th May, from 09:00 - 12:00 UTC [0].

The issue we discovered with Phabricator last week has been mitigated,
so we will proceed with the datacenter switchover that was postponed
on Tuesday.

Much of this switchover window will be downtime, during which you will
be unable to access GitLab through ssh or the web interface.

The process will involve DNS changes and a full backup of the GitLab
server in the codfw datacenter, which will then be restored on the
GitLab server in the eqiad datacenter.

You can follow along on IRC in the libera.chat #wikimedia-gitlab channel[1].
