Volume Attach/Detach events in FRA1
noneAug 13, 2026 · resolved Aug 13
Between Aug 13, 09:50 UTC and 14:30 UTC, customers in the FRA1 region experienced an issue affecting Block Storage Volumes attachment and detachment operations on Droplets and Managed Kubernetes clusters. During this window, customers may have encountered delays or been unable to attach and detach Block Storage Volumes from their resources. Block Storage Volumes attachment and detachment operations now appear to be functioning normally, and customers should no longer experience issues with these operations. For Managed Kubernetes clusters specifically, some residual cleanup of affected volume attachments may still be needed, and our team is actively working through this. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you continue to experience issues with Block Storage Volumes operations, please don't hesitate to open a support ticket for further investigation. Our team will be happy to assist you.

Multiple Services Availability
noneAug 6, 2026 · resolved Aug 6
Between Aug 6, 06:42 UTC and 09:08 UTC, customers experienced failures with write operations across multiple DigitalOcean services, including Managed Databases, DOKS, Cloud Firewalls, DNS, Spaces, Block Storage Volumes, and event processing. Customers attempting to update Cloud Firewall rules, modify DNS records, manage object storage operations, provision or scale DOKS clusters and node pools, and make other infrastructure configuration changes experienced failures. These operations returned errors, preventing customers from managing their resources. Additionally, event processing was delayed or failed during this window, which may have impacted the timeliness of resource status updates and notifications. The services have recovered and are now operating normally. Customers should no longer experience issues with write operations, configuration changes, or event processing. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you continue to experience issues with any of these services, please don't hesitate to open a support ticket. Our team will be happy to assist you.
