Dear customer,

Currently LeaseWeb is working on fixing issues on the Express Cloud platform, caused by the 'leap second bug' that is impacting various platforms world-wide.
The impact of the issue is limited to part of the Express Cloud instances. The following services might not function correctly:
– Stopping, starting and rebooting of instances via the SSC
– Editing firewall rules and switching the firewall on/off
Currently we are working on fixing these issues. We might need to restart a small amount of instances during the maintenance.
We do apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,

LeaseWeb – NOC

UPDATE 20120701 13:30

We have restarted a number of management processes. We are now monitoring our systems, and waiting for a number of queued tasks to finish, and for the system to stabilize further. As the accumulated number of queued tasks is quite high, the impacted functionality is not fully available yet. We have not needed to restart any customer instances.
