Emergency Core Infrastructure Maintenance

[DigitalOcean Support]

Hello,

During the above window tomorrow April 22nd, our Engineering team will be performing emergency maintenance on core control plane infrastructure to repair a degraded service and prevent future impact. Please note that existing infrastructure will continue running without issue. This maintenance has the potential to impact create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations in all regions for a brief period. In the worst case scenario, we anticipate CRUD operations could be degraded or unavailable for about two minutes, near the end of the maintenance window.

Expected Impact:

During the maintenance window, users may experience a brief period of intermittent disruptions with the following platform operations:

Cloud Control Panel and API operations
Event processing
Droplet creates, resizes, rebuilds, and power events
Managed Kubernetes reconciliation and scaling
Load Balancer operations
Container Registry operations
App Platform operations
Managed Database creation and scaling

We do not expect any impact to customer traffic due to this maintenance. If an unexpected issue for the control plane arises, we will endeavor to keep any impact to a minimum and may revert if required.

We apologize for the short notice for this maintenance, if you have any questions related to this event please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket

Thank you,
Team DigitalOcean
