Major Service Interruption in MKC1
Our Engineering team has confirmed the regional control plane is healthy and CPU Droplets, Managed databases, Load balancers, Block storage, Kubernetes (DOKS) and Spaces are operating normally. GPU Droplets continue to be impacted and our teams are working to restore all nodes. We will communicate with GPU Droplet customers separately via Slack and email with more information and regular updates. Thank you for your patience throughout this incident. If you continue to experience any issues, please open a support ticket from within your account.

At this time, the regional control plane is fully healthy. CPU Droplets, Managed databases, Load balancers, Block storage and Spaces are operating normally. Droplet create, resize and other management operations are working. Kubernetes (DOKS) control planes are reachable. Our teams are continuing to work with the facility to restore all equipment. GPU Droplets in MKC1 remain offline or unreachable. DOKS GPU worker nodes may remain NotReady, and GPU-backed inference endpoints in this region may be unavailable. We will monitor the regional control plane for a short time and then resolve this incident. GPU customers will receive personalized updates with more information in lieu of this status page. If you have questions about your affected resources, contact support and reference this incident.
Our Engineering team continues to work on the issue affecting the MKC1 region. We are actively working to restore connectivity and bring the impacted nodes back online. We will provide another update as soon as we have more information.
We have identified the root cause of the issue in the MKC1 region affecting multiple racks and nodes. Our Engineering team is actively implementing remediation steps to restore connectivity and bring the impacted nodes back online. During this time, customers may continue to experience disruptions to GPU workloads and Serverless Inference. Kubernetes (DOKS) worker nodes may also remain in a NotReady state, and customers may be unable to reach Kubernetes API endpoints or perform cluster-management operations in affected clusters. We will provide another update as soon as we have more information.
Our Engineering team is currently investigating an issue in the MKC1 region affecting multiple racks and nodes. During this time, customers may experience disruptions to GPU workloads, and Kubernetes (DOKS) worker nodes may enter a NotReady state. Our team is actively working to restore connectivity and bring impacted nodes back online. If you continue to experience issues, please open a support ticket from within your account.

All incidentsDigitalOcean·Kubernetes Cluster Management Operations
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/
DigitalOcean·App Platform Deployments
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.
DigitalOcean·DNS Resolution for Managed Kubernetes
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/
DigitalOcean·VPC Networking Availability
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.
DigitalOcean·A Network Disruption in BLR1 Region Impacted Multiple Products (Resolved)
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 unex

Your coding agent knows when DigitalOcean is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get DigitalOcean incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.cc/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "digitalocean" and tell me if DigitalOcean has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
