Scheduled - Core Infrastructure Maintenance

Start: 2025-06-17 09:00 UTC
End: 2025-06-17 18:00 UTC

During the above time, our Engineering Team will be performing maintenance to failover some internal databases from one cluster to another.

Existing infrastructure, including Droplets and Droplet-based services, should continue running without issue. There is no network disruption to existing services expected as part of this maintenance. However, there are dependencies on multiple services. During the failover, there may be customer impacts that should be brief and transitory.

Multiple teams will be engaged to keep downtime to a minimum and mitigate any impact that does occur. We’ll post updates here for any unexpected changes to this scheduled maintenance, as well as progress updates during the maintenance itself.

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

Thank you,
Team DigitalOcean
