There was a period of scheduled downtime in February, due to a serious vulnerability in Elasticsearch, as well as some scheduled maintenance in rebalancing load across the system. Otherwise, it was a smooth month, and Bonsai is reporting 100% uptime.
The pending upgrade to Elasticsearch 1.4 is expected to mitigate some of the sporadic 503 errors and memory leaks that have been causing problems in 1.3, so we anticipate more monthly reports of high availability to come post-rollout.
