Hosted Mender incident

Issues with Redis Cluster

Resolved on September 30, 2025.

resolved Sep 30, 2025, 01:30 PM UTC

On September 25th, we updated the internal Redis Cluster to a new provisioning model, but it turned out that this new deployment was applied without a proper Kubernetes Priority Class being set. So we found out that during a new regular hosted Mender deployment, the pods with higher priority and "preempt = true" could preempt Redis pods to be scheduled faster. We applied a fix on the 30th of September, but during the previous 5 days we had at least four Redis Cluster issues, which lasted 1-2 minutes each. We apologize for the issues this incident might have caused to you.
