Do not use OVHcloud for production services

Summary

Two failures of OVHcloud’s control plane took a single VPS offline within four days. Neither originated inside the guest. Neither could be fully resolved by the account holder.

In the first incident, OVHcloud’s automated backup issued a filesystem freeze through qemu-guest-agent and did not complete the corresponding thaw. All processes that performed disk I/O entered uninterruptible sleep. OVHcloud simultaneously locked the service in the state backuping. The Control Panel and API then refused reboot, stop, and start operations with Action not available while VPS is backuping.
