Automatic OVHcloud Maintenance Impact Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens OVHcloud, lists the services and servers on your account with their datacenter locations, reads the published maintenance and incident notices, matches them to your own kit, opens a Trello card for each affected service, and files a dated notice summary in Google Drive.

In short

How do I know which of my servers are affected by scheduled maintenance?

WebRun matches OVHcloud maintenance notices to your own servers every morning. It lists your services and their datacenter locations, reads the published maintenance and incident notices, and works out which of your kit is affected. Each match becomes a dated Trello card and the record is filed in Google Drive, so customers get warned before the reboot.

  • You learn a window affects your kit before it starts, not after
  • Each affected service gets a dated card in the maintenance backlog
  • Recurring maintenance on one datacenter becomes visible over time

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it reschedule maintenance or open tickets?

No. WebRun never opens a support ticket, replies to a notice, reboots a server, or changes a service. It matches notices to your kit and writes cards and files you act on.

How does it know which notices affect me?

It reads the services on your own account, including their datacenter locations, then matches each published notice by location and service type. Notices touching nothing you run are skipped.

Does it warn my customers?

No. WebRun tells you which of your services sit behind a window and when. Any customer notice is written and sent by you, which is why the card carries the window and the impact.

Put this on autopilot.
