SFO3 Network maintenance

Oct 1, 12:00 UTC
Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.

Oct 1, 08:00 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

Sep 28, 08:19 UTC
Scheduled - The Network maintenance in SFO3 region which was previously scheduled to start on 2024-09-25 at 08:00 UTC has been rescheduled to the following window:

Start: 2024-10-01 08:00 UTC
End: 2024-10-01 12:00 UTC

During the above window, our Networking team will be performing maintenance on core switches in our SFO3 datacenter as part of network upgrades.

Expected Impact:

These upgrades are designed and tested to be seamless, and we do not expect any impact to customer traffic due to this maintenance. Should an unexpected issue arise, a possible outcome would be temporary loss of connectivity for impacted Droplets. We will endeavor to keep any such impact to a minimum.

If you have any questions related to this issue please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket
