Earlier today the MySQL server that is hosted with BuyVM went down for scheduled node maintenance. Their maintenance window was roughly around an hour. However upon coming back to life, the server remained unreachable. Total downtime of the MySQL server was roughly around 2 hours, 40 minutes.
The issue appears to have been network config related and isolated to the vpsBoard DB KVM server, however this was only discovered after investigating why MySQL would not start. Lots of cussing, and some deep breaths later determined the cause to be network device related. In reality, that should have been investigated first as signs pointed to a network config issue but in the heat of the moment it was not determined that was the cause yet.
Anyhow, props for scv from AnyNode for lending a helping hand and getting me sorted out and reconstructing the network config.
