[opencompute-hosting-announce] Unplanned Power Event

[Lance Albertson]

FYI: It looks like we had another power event that impacted our primary
data center along with our OpenCompute hosts in another datacenter. I'm
taking a look to see what might be down but this time it seems to be not
nearly as widespread. I don't think we had any issues with any of the OSL
managed services.

Please let me know if you do have any issues.

Thanks-
