Kia ora Silverstripe Cloud customer,
As GitLab continues to release new versions of bug fixes, security fixes and adding new features, we are committed to staying current with best practices and making the necessary adjustments to ensure a seamless experience for our users.
The Silverstripe Cloud Deployment functionality relies on GitLab for all type of deployments to all environments. We have selected the following window to limit interference with your deployment activities. During this window, you may not be able to access Gitlab or run deployments.
Deployment Schedule: The GitLab application upgrade for all environments will take place on Aug 31, 2026 from 7 AM to 9 AM NZST.
Alternate window: Sep 1, 2026 from 7 AM to 9 AM NZST
Impact: During this maintenance window, deployments and GitLab console will be unavailable. We are taking every measure to minimise disruption during the GitLab upgrade.
Your websites and web applications will not be affected and will remain available throughout the maintenance window.
Recommended actions for you:
- Plan any work that relies on deployments or GitLab management outside of the maintenance window.
- Complete any required deployments or infrastructure changes before the maintenance window begins.
- Share this message with other members of your team who need to be aware of the maintenance.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
