On <b>December 17th</b>, there will be a <b>power outage affecting all compute clusters</b> to allow a contractor to install new PDUs. The outage window will begin at
<b>6:00 AM</b>. Due to the nature of the work, we can only provide a general timeframe, and we expect the interruption to last
<b>most of the day</b>. Full recovery time is still <b>to be determined</b>.</div>
