2025 Khoros Holiday Production Freeze Schedule
To ensure we provide the best service possible and to minimize the risk of service disruptions during periods of high customer activity, Khoros implements annual freezes across all Khoros-managed production environments. These windows align with internal company holidays to ensure consistent coverage and reduce risk. These company-wide freezes apply to all Khoros products and internal applications. During these periods, no production-level changes—such as infrastructure updates, plugin deployments, new launches, software releases, or upgrades—will be approved or executed. 2025 Freeze Schedule Spring Holidays Friday 4/18 12:01 am PT - Monday 4/21/2025 11:59 pm PT Juneteenth Wednesday 6/18 12:01 am PT - Thursday 6/19/2025 11:59 pm PT Thanksgiving TBD November Winter Holidays TBD mid-December - early January Outages and Severity 1 Issues This does not impact our ability to manage outages or other severity 1 level issues.

Change windows are set times when planned, no downtime changes are permitted. These changes are scheduled and communicated via the release calendar. By adhering to a set schedule, updates become predictable and manageable. These changes have traditionally not fallen under Maintenance Windows as there is no downtime. By providing visibility into Change Windows and prescribing regularly scheduled times and dates we can deploy with confidence and keep customers informed.
