As many of you may already know, the last few weeks have largely been marked by the discovery of serious flaws in modern processors. The security holes have been named Spectre and Meltdown. You can read more about them on our blog (in Swedish): https://glesys.se/blogg/2018/01/04/del-1-viktig-information-om-tva-allvarliga-sakerhetshot

GleSYS VMware platform has already been patched. OpenVZ has been delayed while we've been waiting for an update from our supplier. This update has now been released and therefore we intend to start work on upgrading our entire platform. In connection with this, all nodes will need to be restarted. As this is a major security threat to our customers, we need to do everything we can to ensure that our customers' systems remain secure. We therefore ask for your patience and understanding during this maintenance window.
