To let you check our infrastructure at any time, we've prepared an overview page showing the current situation in our datacentres.
During last week's power outage in Prague, we lost our usual means of communicating with members, particularly vpsAdmin outage announcements and support. Only our Twitter account and IRC channel let us tell members what was happening. I wanted to improve that situation if something similar happens again.
Introducing status.vpsf.cz: an application that continuously checks our infrastructure and selected services. The checks are automatic, so if something isn't working, you'll see it immediately.
status.vpsf.cz runs on an APU with LTE in our Prague rack, independently of MasterDC's network. It's connected to its own small UPS, so it can keep running for a while even if datacentre power fails.
It also shows outages and maintenance announced through vpsAdmin. If vpsAdmin itself isn't working, we'll post information directly on status.vpsf.cz.
