Updates from Aiven 5

  1. investigating

    We have paused Kafka 3.8 ->3.9 upgrades as we are investigating an issue with KRaft migration during the upgrade. Aiven is actively monitoring affected services and applying mitigations where required. Impact: Existing Kafka services continue to run. Customers attempting to upgrade Kafka services from version 3.8 to 3.9 will not be able to complete the upgrade while KRaft migrations are paused. Next update: We will provide an update once more information is available.
