At roughly 12:15pm EST May 23rd, 2023, a configuration change was made to prepare for upcoming planned infrastructure upgrades for Pantheon’s CMS Search offering. This change unexpectedly resulted in CMS Search being unavailable while the configuration was applied. This change did not have any impact on the machines running the Search backends or their data, and service was restored around 1:30pm EST.
Maintaining availability of these services is a high priority issue for Pantheon. As part of our internal review process, we have discovered areas to help us uncover and prevent similar issues in the future.
