Cloud OMC/BOSS Upgrade Announcement - August 4, 2021 @ 12:00am Pacific

The OMC and BOSS section of CloudCore is being upgraded on August 4th at midnight PT (Pacific Time). This update mainly adds bug fixes and improvements related to SAS and introduces support for “Virtual Roaming”, which enables operators to selectively allow roaming between other CloudCore operators.

Downtime is expected to last 10 minutes and the CloudCore portal may not be accessible during this time. This upgrade will have no impact on UE or eNB connectivity to the Cloud EPC as well as the DP SAS service.

:information_source: Additional Upgrade Notes:

In preparation of the OMC upgrade, the OMC database servers will be synchronized 24 hours prior to the OMC upgrade (August 3rd, 2021 at Midnight PT), which is expected to last for ~5 hours. While synchronizing, the OMC and BOSS UI may not be as responsive. Also note the DP SAS service runs on separate servers and will continue to heartbeat during this time.
