CVI hypervisor upgrades between Nov 22 and Nov 25

 
Description: 

We are planning the deployment of Microsoft patches and hotfixes on ~200 Hypervisors in the CVI service, hosting Virtual Machines in the Self-Service as well as in hostgroups dedicated to BE/CO, Engineering Services, IT/GT, EN/ICE, IT/UDS, IT/OIS and IT/CS.

The upgrades will take place between 07:00 and 08:30, and involve a reboot of the hypervisors. The Virtual Machines hosted on those servers will be automatically suspended into a 'Saved State', and will resume once the hypervisor has restarted (typically within 5 minutes). From the VM perspective this intervention is therefore largely transparent. All Virtual Machines are expected to be back by 08:30.

The upgrade schedule is:
