During the above window, our Engineering team will be performing maintenance on principal infrastructure in order to improve reliability of the services. Please note that existing infrastructure will continue running without issue. This maintenance may impact create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations in all regions.

Expected Impact:

During the maintenance window, users may experience increased latency for 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 arises, we will endeavor to keep any impact to minimum and may revert if required.

Rescheduled: BLR1 Network Maintenance

Oct 3, 14:54 UTC
Completed - The scheduled maintenance has been completed.

Oct 3, 12:30 UTC
In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

Oct 1, 03:57 UTC
Scheduled - Start: 2024-10-03 12:30 UTC
End: 2024-10-03 15:30 UTC

During the above window, our Networking team will be making changes to core networking infrastructure to improve performance and scalability in the BLR1 region. This is a rescheduled maintenance event previously scheduled for 2024-09-24.

Expected Impact:

These upgrades are designed and tested to be seamless and we do not expect any impact on customer traffic due to this maintenance. Should an unexpected issue arise, a possible outcome would be a temporary loss of connectivity for impacted Droplets. Any impact would also extend to Droplet-dependent services in the BLR1 region such as Managed Databases, Load Balancers, App Platform, and Managed Kubernetes. We will endeavor to keep any such impact to a minimum.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this maintenance, please reach out to us by opening up a ticket on your account via https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket/.
