As part of our continuous improvement plan, we will change the IPv6 configuration applied to new installations of older Linux OSes on our Bare Metal offer. Start time : 01/12/2026 10:00 UTC End time : 01/12/2026 11:00 UTC Service impact : Installed servers keep their current configuration until they are reinstalled. From the start of the maintenance, new installations of the OSes listed below will receive an updated IPv6 configuration. Servers on the Advance (from ADV-3 2024), Scale and High Grade ranges are not affected. List of affected OSes: - AlmaLinux 8 (and its Plesk 18 variant) - AlmaLinux 9 - Rocky Linux 8 - Rocky Linux 9 - Ubuntu 20.04 - Ubuntu 22.04 Service improvement : The affected OSes were previously configured with a /56 IPv6 prefix and a large set of extra routes (around 140) to reach a gateway outside the server's own prefix. New installations will now use the prefix length displayed in the API (for example /128 or /64), with a default route via the gateway, without th

Your coding agent knows when OVHcloud is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get OVHcloud incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "ovhcloud" and tell me if OVHcloud has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
