Thanks for this, I had no idea it existed and it looks amazing! Definitely trying it out tonight.

When you say there’s going to be four minutes of network outage in a four hour window, I relay that to our clients. It seems to consistently push into 30 minutes. Just say 30 minutes up front and it’ll be daisy. Also, it seems like I have to pull out teeth when I have a VSI go down because of host (dom0) failure. When I call in, I literally have to argue with the support engineer that the machine is down so he doesn’…

in your opinion would it be better to overestimate as a precaution? I think people generally tend to naturally estimate a scenario where things go as planned and present that.

About lon02 we are actually currently going through a migration to new routers and there was some possible impact communicated to customers. Many apologies it didn't go as smoothly as hoped.
