UCLA IT Services -- Network Services will be performing a software code upgrade on the Data Center firewall appliances on Sunday, June 28, 2020 from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. In addition, the ASA code running on the appliances will also be upgraded. The code will be upgraded on one DCN firewall at a time, and no outage is expected as traffic will be re-routed through the redundant firewall appliances. There could be a potential connection disruption while the traffic is being re-routed and the upgrade is being performed. 

IT Services is pleased to announce the launch of phase one of its new API Developer Portal. The API Developer Portal is a key component of the UCLA API Management Platform —  it's the “face” of the UCLA API program and is the central hub for discovering campus APIs across many disciplines.
