Maintenance activities can occur at two levels: Web Level Maintenance: This type of maintenance has a minimal and brief impact on the user experience. During this time, the web interface might be temporarily unavailable or slow, but your running workloads will not be affected. This is because the workloads are executed within the clusters and can still be accessed via SSH or the provided web interface in the running workload. Cluster Level Maintenance: This type of maintenance has a more significant impact on the user experience. It may affect the access, availability or performance of the accelerators within the specific cluster undergoing maintenance. In summary, while web-level maintenance can cause minor disruptions to the web interface and running workloads will be unaffected. Cluster-level maintenance may have a more noticeable impact, however, any maintenance operation will be scheduled and notified well in advance.
