Does Skytap have regular maintenance windows?

Skytap doesn’t have regularly scheduled downtime for upgrades or other maintenance, as we strive to bring you the highest level of service availability. However, in the event that service-disrupting maintenance is required, Skytap notifies you at least one month before the maintenance period.

If the site is accessible during the maintenance period, we display an informational banner on Skytap. This banner is updated when maintenance is complete.

If you have any questions about maintenance windows, please contact support at support@skytap.com
