Is DigitalOcean down?

Our Engineering team is currently investigating an issue affecting Managed Kubernetes cluster operations. During this time, Customers may experience delays or failures when attempting to create, delete, scale, or upgrade clusters, as well as with other management tasks. Existing workloads running on Managed Kubernetes are not affected and will continue to operate normally. Our Engineering team is actively investigating and treating this with the highest priority. We will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available.

Our Engineering team continues to investigate an issue affecting Managed Kubernetes cluster operations. Customers may still experience delays or failures when creating, deleting, scaling, or upgrading clusters, across all regions. Existing workloads running on Managed Kubernetes are not affected and will continue to operate normally. We have no new information to share at this time. Our Engineering team is actively working on this issue and treating it with the highest priority. We will provide another update within the next hour, or sooner if more information becomes available.

Our Engineering team has implemented a fix for the issue affecting Managed Kubernetes cluster operations across all regions. Customers should now be able to create, delete, scale, and upgrade their clusters as expected. We are monitoring the situation to ensure all cluster management operations are functioning normally and the service remains stable. We will post another update once we confirm the issue is fully resolved.

We have resolved the issue affecting Managed Kubernetes cluster operations across all regions. Cluster creation, deletion, scaling, and upgrade operations have returned to normal. We have monitored the environment and confirmed that services are operating normally. If you continue to experience any issues, please contact our Support team by opening a ticket here: https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/

Between 04:34 and 12:15 UTC, customers experienced service interruptions affecting App Platform deployment operations. During this window, customers may have been unable to deploy new applications or scale existing deployments. Applications already running prior to the incident were unaffected and continued to operate normally. The disruption was caused by a software update that prevented application containers from starting on newly provisioned infrastructure nodes. Our Engineering team rolled back the update and restored the affected nodes. App Platform deployment and scaling operations have recovered and are operating normally. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused. If you continue to experience any issues, please open a support ticket and our team will be happy to assist you.

Our Engineering team is investigating an issue causing intermittent external DNS lookup failures for Managed Kubernetes clusters in multiple regions. Applications running on affected clusters may intermittently fail to resolve external domain names. We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates as more information becomes available.

Our Engineering team has implemented a fix to address the intermittent external DNS lookup failures affecting Managed Kubernetes clusters in multiple regions. We are currently monitoring the results to ensure the issue is fully resolved. We will provide another update as soon as the issue is confirmed to be resolved.

Our Engineering team has resolved the external DNS resolution failures affecting Managed Kubernetes across multiple regions. Applications running on Managed Kubernetes can now resolve external domain names. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this disruption may have caused to your operations. If you continue to experience problems, please open a ticket with our Support team: https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/

Our Engineering team identified a disruption affecting VPC Networking operations that began at approximately 08:48 UTC. During this time, customers may have experienced delays or failures when creating or deleting VPC peerings, VPC Native DOKS clusters, or Private Network Connections (PNCs), as well as when adding cluster members. Creating routes and subnets may also have been affected. Operations are now returning to normal, and our Engineering team is monitoring the affected systems to ensure continued stability. Existing VPC resources and network connectivity remain unaffected. We will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available.

Our Engineering team has implemented a fix for the VPC Networking disruption. Customers should now be able to create and delete VPC peering connections, subnets, and routes as expected. Previously pending operations have been cleared, and VPC Networking operations are returning to normal. Our Engineering team is monitoring the affected systems to ensure continued stability and verify that operations remain healthy. We appreciate your patience and will provide another update once normal operation has been fully confirmed.

Our Engineering team fully resolved the VPC Networking disruption as of 10:29 UTC. Customers can now create and delete VPC peering connections, subnets, and routes as expected. Following the recovery, we monitored the affected systems and confirmed that VPC Networking operations remain stable. We apologize for any inconvenience this disruption may have caused. If you continue to experience unexpected behavior, please open a ticket with our Support team for further assistance.

From 11:59 UTC to 13:02 UTC on October 3, 2026, a networking disruption in our BLR1 region affected multiple products, including Monitoring, App Platform, Managed Databases, Functions, Load Balancers, Spaces, and the Cloud Control Panel. During this period, some users experienced degraded connectivity, increased latency, or intermittent errors when accessing resources in the region. Multiple network paths operated by our upstream connectivity providers were unavailable, including redundant paths intended to maintain connectivity during a disruption. Traffic shifted to a remaining link with insufficient capacity to handle the full load, resulting in network saturation and the connectivity issues described above. Our Engineering and Network teams worked closely with our upstream providers to restore normal routing and connectivity. All affected services have since returned to normal operation. We apologize for the disruption and its impact on your work. If you continue to experience unexpected behavior, please open a support ticket so our team can investigate and assist you.
