Agency update - October 2021
The Department of Finance has finalised the first group of 8 suppliers for the Panel. These suppliers have been approved by GovCMS to provide expertise in GovCMS and Drupal.
GovCMS will soon be upgrading part of the hosting infrastructure used by all websites on the platform. We will be switching from RedHat OpenShift to Amazon EKS. This will be a seamless transition and will ensure the ongoing resilience of your GovCMS website(s), ensuring faster scalability of the infrastructure in the event of spikes in web traffic, and maintaining the high security standards of the GovCMS platform.
A big thank you to the whole community. Over the past four months we’ve seen all GovCMS SaaS Drupal 8 websites make the move to Drupal 9. This has been a massive feat and we appreciate the community’s willingness to get onboard, help us and help each other.
Save the date for Week Online Take 2
We're excited to announce GovCMS Week Online Take 2! A series of short online events between the 15th and 19th of November 2021 that will reconnect the community and explore all that is GovCMS.

GovCMS training moves to Drupal 9
It’s not just GovCMS websites that are moving to Drupal 9.
From February 2022, our Content Administration and Site Builder training manuals and live training sessions will be on Drupal 9 too. While there aren’t too many changes between Drupal 8 and 9, this change means we’ll be providing the most up to date and relevant advice to members of the community.
