Deployments failing

Resolved after 1 hour 34 minutes, affecting WordPress VIP Deployments, on July 21, 2026.

resolved Jul 21, 2026, 10:10 AM UTC

This issue has been resolved. The deployment failures were caused by an upstream GitHub incident affecting SSH authentication using certain types of deploy keys (see: https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/g40zcbvchny4 ). VIP has since worked around the issue, and all deployments that failed during this window have been retried. Thank you for your patience.
