Release Note Description

[dougbu]

might have same root cause as #4918 (he says hopefully)

might have same root cause as #4918 (he says hopefully)

I think this is a reasonable hope! But alas the root cause remains unknown.

And, speak of the devil, the Staging instance just went down.

Here's what I've found so far -

1. The last deployment for both environments match with the times the errors started in each, so it looks related. And this seems unlike the flakiness that happens in that all requests since the deployments have been 503s.

• For prod: 3/19 ~6:10pm UTC
• For staging: 3/25 ~10:30am UTC (previous deployment was 3/14)

2. I'm seeing MI errors in staging that are causing the app to then not be able to access settings.json. I don't see a corresponding error in prod though.

There's a few things to figure out here now - if switching deployments slots will work, if something about an MI has changed, figuring out somehow what exactly is failing.. to find the actual root cause but just wanted to post this as an update/notes.

Redeployment in both environments worked for this - updated documentation to try redeploying in case of issues and have linked a created issue here that can help debugging in a small but meaningful way.
