Zoom on-premise cloud recording issue
During summer all of the NORDUnet Zoom on-premise platform was migrated
over to the new Zoom Node setup. Extensive testing was carried out as part
of this process.
There are things in the Node setup and backend that is having design flaws
regarding the scaling. We have together with Zoom identified 40+ issues or
features that needed to be addressed, but this has no impact on the
service, and we did not encounter any functional issues.
When utilisation increased after the summer holidays, we have encountered
an intermediate issue with the Zoom on-premise recording service. This has
resulted in the delay of the processing and making the recordings available
and has unfortunately led to the loss of recordings that cannot be
recovered.
During the period from August 27 to September 5, the average loss of
recordings was around 5%, in total around 250 recordings were lost.
The night between September 5 and 6 we implemented a workaround changing
the disc configuration on the recording server VM’s. After that the number
of lost recordings has dropped to less than 0,5% and a total of 5
recordings have been lost since.
The root cause for the problem has so far not been identified. There are
currently two different lines of investigations. We are in constant contact
with Zoom and provide them with all requested information.
In the new Zoom Nodes setup, the servers are running in locked down
containers that we do not have access to, making our ability to act
independently limited.
If there are critical recording needs, it is recommended to use local
recording until the issue has been fully resolved.
The Media support group has been kept informed on the Monday update
meeting, but we will start to inform more broadly on the situation.
We understand the frustration and concerns regarding the current situation
and NORDUnet apologies for and deeply regrets any inconvenience caused by
this.
