As we wrap things up, we've just published an in-depth look at our migration project: kdl.kcl.ac.uk/blog/migrati... #sustainability #infrastructure #migration #static-first @kingsartshums.bsky.social

Great episode - well worth a listen.

Migration-related turnoffs: we've reduced the sites affected & made static versions with reduced functionality to give some access while we finish: kdl.kcl.ac.uk/blog/migrati... Temporarily static sites below:

Due to a major infrastructure migration & upgrade KDL must temporarily shut down a few sites from 2 Dec. We’re sorry for the inconvenience & encourage users to access the sites before the end of this month, to minimise effect on your work. More info: kdl.kcl.ac.uk/blog/migrati...
