Regular support will not be provided for service Instances using these stemcells after the release of anynines-deployment v63.0.0.

The update procedure is structured into 3 stages:
Stage 1: Update of the Runtime Stage 2: Update of the a9s Data Service Framework Stage 3: Update of all existing a9s Data Service instances
The stages have the following impact:
Stage 1: - Restart of all applications. For slow starting applications with a single instance configuration this might introduce a downtime of up to 5 minutes in addition to application startup time. - Restart of the API. Single requests to the API might fail but subsequent requests shall pass.
Stage 2: - Creation, update and deletion of new or existing a9s Data Services instances will be unavailable for up to 5 minutes. - The availability of existing a9s Data Service instances will not be affected by this.
Stage 3: - All a9s Data Service instances will be restarted which causes single instances to be not available for up to 5 minutes. - You may see your app reconnecting to the master node while the service instance gets updated.
We'll provide an update as soon as we finish the respective stage.
