Scheduled

We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance during this time to update the system.
To align with Amazon S3 standards we needed to make a change to the bucket names for many Freezer allocations.
What will be changing:
Previously we had a naming policy bucketname_uniqueidentifier, where you could update the name as part of the allocation process. We need to remove the underscore and replace it with a hyphen.
Your Freezer allocation is now bucketname-uniqueidentifier.
You can access Freezer exactly the same as before but you will need to use the new bucket name(s). If you use _ the system will fail.
