Scalr.net Maintenance on August 26 at 1:00 AM PST
Update: The new server's IP address is 74.54.243.170, please add this to your security groups, with UDP ports 161-162 and TCP ports 22 and 3306.
Next Thursday (August 26) at 1:00 AM PST, we will add a new, non-cloud server to our infrastructure to improve fault-tolerance and performance. No UI downtime is expected, but there is a small chance that you might not be able to login a few times.
This is the last upgrade required to achieve full geographic fault-tolerance. Our nameservers are spread across 4 network-independent datacenters and two continents, and our http servers, polling servers, and database servers will all be fully redundant after the server addition.
Cheers,
The Scalr Team

Does this mean that there will be a new ip address to allow for port 22 and udp 161-162 access? Or is this just a nameserver update?

Yep. When the server is online, we’ll announce the changes that security-conscious users will need to make to their security groups.

Great! Thank you Sebastian

Scalr roles are created with default security groups permitting global access (0.0.0.0/0) to these ports. There’s no need to add one specific address unless you also add the other specific addresses and turn off global access – which would be a very good thing!
