"This means service will partially restore over the next
few minutes and then go away again once the *Azure*
restart command succeeds."
"Looks like we are headed for the ‘double restart’
scenario. The NFS server came back on its own but
*Azure* is still busy restarting it."
"*Azure* restart of the NFS server is in progress"
"Depending on whether the machine is stuck or already
rebooting. No way to tell with *Azure*."
"*Azure* CLI restart of the NFS server finished, that is
usually a good sign."
"We are experimenting with copying data out of our
current *Azure* storage account. Unfortunately the
copying affects http://gitlab.com" - 1st Dez

There have appearently been really big troubles, starting in November! Is Azure cloud that bad or is it a problem on your side? What about moving to AWS/Google/Rackspace?
Like I said to GitLab numerous time, GitLab should split ( or go back to ) their original Gitlab.org and Gitlab.com
Their current SaaS is simply not up to standard and it will be hard for others or business to trust and run on it. They should instead run GitlAb SaaS like a proper business.
We're very aware that the current performance of GitLab.com is not acceptable. This is caused by its fast growth and we're working very hard to improve it in the coming months. Yesterday we migrated to all SSD storage, which is an important step.
