LAVA upgrade and deployment change

Hi LAVA users,

The Linaro Validation Team is preparing to change the way we deploy LAVA in production.  We expect this will require 1 hour of downtime or less on Monday beginning at 22:00 UTC. This upgrade will streamline our deployment process, allowing us to deploy changes more frequently and quickly deliver incremental improvements. This change will also allow others to deploy LAVA in the same way, for development or production purposes.

As the API will not be working during the downtime, there is the chance that some automatically-submitted jobs (e.g. from android-build) will be lost.  We hope to work soon on an approach that will avoid this risk.

Cheers, The Validation Team
