Hello,
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:
Power systems are redundant and we don’t expect to see any downtime, however, in the very unlikely situation that we lose power to both supplies, users may experience disruption with the following services or for a brief period:
Networking
Backups
Snapshots
Droplet create & restore operations
We will endeavor to keep any downtime to a minimum for the duration of the change.
