"ACI Simulator AlwaysOn - V6" - Rarely operational...

[jbekk]

Over the last few weeks I've had nothing but issues with the always-on lab. I am guessing it is getting attacked/broken by bad-actors or it is buggy. Using the ACI 5.2 reservation-only lab has been a good workaround but this lab has been decomissioned by the looks. Is there a schedule the V6 lab reloads to that i can align to in order to maximise my chances of using it?

As you noted this is often misuse which sadly impacts others using the sandbox. As far as i am aware there is no schedule in place so you can hop on as soon as device/VM is reset/built, engineering often has to bring this back up.
