Managed Kubernetes: Service Degradation for Control Planes in FRA

Resolved after 1 day 7 hours, affecting Managed Kubernetes, on March 31, 2026.

resolved Apr 01, 2026, 08:18 PM UTC

We are marking the incident as resolved, as no further anomalies were detected. The root cause was a transient latency issue in one of the redundant CoreDNS pods, which led to kube-apiservers being unable to discover etcd instances in time. We are currently developing better mitigation options for the excessive NXDOMAIN requests observed during the incident.
