Hello,

During the above window, our Engineering team will be performing maintenance on core control plane infrastructure. Please note that the existing infrastructure will continue running without issue. This maintenance may impact create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations in all regions.

Expected Impact:

During the maintenance window, users may experience brief periods of increased latency with the following platform operations:

Cloud Control Panel and API operations
Event processing
Droplet creates, resizes, rebuilds, and power events
Managed Kubernetes reconciliation and scaling
Load Balancer operations
Container Registry operations
App Platform operations
Managed Database creation and scaling

We do not expect any impact to customer traffic due to this maintenance. If an unexpected issue for the control plane arises, we will endeavor to keep any impact to a minimum and may revert if required.

If you have any questions related to this maintenance please send us a ticket from your cloud support page. https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com/s/createticket

Thank you,
Team DigitalOcean
