SDC Cloud Wide Policy Change - Effective immediately - 05/26/2023

SDC Cloud Wide will change policy to forcefully consolidate snapshots.  This is due to VM having snapshots that result in snapshot lasting longer than 72 hrs.  The implications from poor performance and negative result and data loss are real.  There are service (s) that become unrecoverable once the snapshot becomes stale, bit rot occurs, won't consolidate or a number of other impacts.  Please see the attached article.  We are doing this as a proactive attempt to ensure that performance, backup, recovery and data integrity are maintained to the highest level and performance remains stellar.
