Resolved - Our Engineering team has confirmed that our upstream providers have been able to mitigate the network connectivity issues in the BLR1 and SGP1 regions.

At this time users should not experience intermittent degraded performance and timeout errors with Droplet-based services to and from these regions.

If you continue to experience problems, please open a ticket with our support team. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Update - Our Engineering team has observed significant improvements with the network latency and packet loss during peak hours today. This is a result of our upstream providers making some routing adjustments. We are carefully monitoring the network performance for the next 24 hours.

We will communicate any further relevant information as we have it. We apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Sep 8, 22:29 UTC
Update - Significant submarine cable outages continue to impact multiple network carriers on the Indian subcontinent, with increased latency and packet loss to our BLR1 region occurring sporadically throughout the day.

On a positive note, our upstream providers have worked diligently over the past couple of days to minimize the impact of the loss of submarine capacity. As a result, we are now mainly seeing service degradation during the busier evening peak hours only.

For the moment, we have no updates to provide regarding when the situation might improve. Repair times for submarine cables are typically on the order of weeks or months. However, further short-term improvements may still be possible as upstream carriers work to re-balance traffic where feasible.

Separately, we continue to look into potential avenues for additional mitigations and will keep our customers aprised as we make progress in this area.

We apologize for the ongoing inconvenience created by this extraordinary situation and thank our customers for their patience.

Monitoring - Our Engineering team confirms that multiple subsea cable cuts are impacting connectivity in the APAC region, which also affects traffic to Europe and the U.S. East Coast.

Traffic is being rerouted through alternate paths to maintain service continuity. As a result, users may experience higher latency and intermittent connectivity issues.

Our engineering team continues to monitor the situation closely and is working with upstream providers as repair efforts progress. We will share further updates as they become available.

We apologize for the disruption and appreciate your patience.

Sep 6, 18:49 UTC
Update - We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

Sep 6, 18:44 UTC
Update - Our Engineering team has implemented changes to optimize traffic routing in the BLR and SGP regions, addressing networking issues stemming from our upstream providers, which are affected by major submarine cable outages in the APAC region. Despite these adjustments, users may still encounter intermittent packet loss or connectivity issues when accessing resources in the affected areas. We are working with our upstream vendors to gain further insights and achieve a definitive resolution.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Sep 6, 16:48 UTC
Identified - Our Engineering team has identified the cause of the issue impacting networking connectivity in BLR1 region to be with our upstream provider.

Our team is actively working on remediation steps. We will post an update as soon as we have more information.

Sep 6, 16:13 UTC
Investigating - Our Engineering team is currently investigating an issue impacting networking in BLR1 region. Users may experience network connectivity loss to Droplets and Droplet-based services, like Managed Kubernetes and Database Clusters.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will share an update once we have more information.

Sep 5, 19:42 UTC
Resolved - From 18:53 to 19:15 UTC, our Engineering team identified an issue with the public Droplet API, resulting in difficulties in creating, accessing and listing Droplets via the Cloud Control Panel or API. Autoscaler and LBaaS APIs were also affected. Our team has fully resolved the issues, and as of 19:15 UTC, all services are operating normally.
We apologize for the inconvenience. If you are still experiencing any problems or have additional questions, then please open a support ticket within your account

Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.

Sep 3, 07:30 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

Sep 2, 22:10 UTC
Scheduled - Start: 2025-09-03 07:30 UTC
End: 2025-09-03 11:30 UTC

During the above window, our Engineering team will be performing maintenance on the Managed Databases API to enhance security, improve access control and enable better auditing and compliance. Please note that existing Databases and workloads will continue to run normally and will not be impacted.

Expected Impact:

We don’t anticipate any service disruptions during this window. Your existing databases and workloads will continue to run normally and will not be impacted.

In the event of an unexpected issue occurs, only control plane actions like provisioning new clusters, modifying configurations, and fetching database details will be impacted. The data-plane for connecting and running queries on your databases will be unaffected.

If an unexpected issue arises, we will endeavor to keep any impact to a minimum and may revert if required.

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
