OTC Patching Problem
We experienced kernel panics on a few guest systems after the deployment of the IBC patches in eu-de AZ1 and stopped further deployments. VMs using older kernels from the early stage of Meltdown/Spectre fixes are affected. We also know that our PaaS services might be affected, because they might be using kernels of that time.
Please find more information about affected kernel versions and PaaS services in the tables below.
