[2020] Why is OCE always under maintenance at peak times?

NA.

Time. Zone. Wasn't. The. Scheduling. Factor.

If I was scheduling this change to accomodate me being in NA you'd better believe it wouldn't have been at 2AM my time. :)

In all seriousness having a maintenance during peak sucks and we know that. This particular set of changes involved some critical data center infra that includes portions of both NA and OC, and taking those two offline together is a losing combo as far as time zones go which is why we did one NA day deploy and two OC deploys to try and spread it out.

Please know that NA being where Hq is doesn’t factor much into operations work. If 3am is the time selected to do something then that’s when I’ll be online.
