During the above window, our Engineering team will be performing maintenance on redundant upstream electrical systems in order to improve reliability in our AMS3 region.

Expected Impact:

We don’t expect to see any downtime as the power to hypervisors is redundant. In a highly unlikely situation, where we lose power to both the supplies, the impacted Droplet(s) may experience downtime for a brief period. We will endeavor to keep this to a minimum for the duration of the change.


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

Resolved - From 01:56 to 06:36 UTC, our Engineering team observed an issue with Container Registry and App Platform builds in the BLR1 region.

During this time, users may have experienced delays while building their Apps and could have potentially experienced timeout errors in builds as a result. Additionally, a subset of customers may have experienced latency while interacting with the Container Registries.

Our Engineering team was able to take action to mitigate the impact and resolve the issue. All services are now functioning as expected. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

If you have any questions or continue to experience issues, please reach out via a Support ticket on your account.

Resolved - Our Engineering team identified an issue with new Droplet creates and rebuilds using Ubuntu 24.10 based Snapshot and Backup Images. From Oct 10 13:33 to Oct 25 19:58 UTC, users may have experienced issues while creating new Droplets using Ubuntu 24.10 based Snapshots and Backup Images in all of our regions.

We have disabled new Droplet creates and rebuilds using Ubuntu 24.10 based Image until new image has been published. Users who are still running Ubuntu 24.10 based Droplets should create offline Snapshots.

We apologize for the inconvenience. If you continue to experience any issues, please open a support ticket from within your account.

During the above window, our Engineering team will perform maintenance on the authoritative DNS infrastructure in order to improve reliability of the service. During this operation, the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of “ns1.digitalocean.com” will change. Customers do NOT need to take any action in preparation for this update.

Expected Impact:

This update is designed to be seamless and we do not expect any impact to DNS queries made to customer domains hosted by DigitalOcean as a result of this maintenance.

If an unexpected issue arises, resolution of some records in zones hosted with DigitalOcean may experience increased latency or a brief disruption. 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/.
