<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; margin: 8px 0 18px; color: #121212; line-height: 1.3;">Recommendations</h2>
<p style="margin: 0 0 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #2a2a2a;">If you are running important services on LightNode's Iraq nodes, please plan accordingly:</p>
<ul style="margin: 0 0 24px 22px; padding: 0;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 16px;">Avoid critical operations (deployments, migrations, backups) during the daily 11:20 AM &ndash; 12:10 PM (UTC+8) window.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 16px;">Schedule maintenance, batch jobs and data sync tasks outside the affected hours.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 16px;">Expect connectivity to automatically resume after each window, depending on the restoration status of Hulum, Earthlink, and Zain.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 16px;">For mission-critical workloads, consider deploying to a different LightNode region during this period.</li>
</ul>

<p style="margin: 0 0 24px; font-size: 16px; color: #2a2a2a;">We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.</p>
