Kubernetes Deployments in NYC1
Jul 9, 08:31 PM — Resolved Jul 11, 01:27 AM
The issue affecting Kubernetes deployments in the NYC1 region has been resolved. Our investigation found intermittent DNS timeouts affecting a small number of DOKS clusters, with affected worker nodes running on shared-CPU Droplets. This is a documented limitation for latency-sensitive cluster DNS workloads such as CoreDNS. The affected clusters are currently functional. To reduce the risk of recurrence, we recommend running CoreDNS on non-shared/dedicated CPU node pools and using sufficient CoreDNS replicas. If you continue to see DNS failures or NodeNotReady events, please open a support ticket so we can investigate that cluster specifically.

Is DigitalOcean down for everyone or just me?
To determine whether it's a widespread DigitalOcean outage or a problem specific to your account or location:
- Check the status indicator above — if this page shows a major outage, it's confirmed global.
- Try a different device or network — if it works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, it's likely a local network issue, not DigitalOcean.
- Clear cache and cookies — browser issues can mimic service outages.
- Check community reports — Downdetector and social media will show whether hundreds of other users are reporting the same issue.
- Test the API directly (for developers) — a raw request returning 5xx errors confirms a service-side outage; a 429 means you've hit your personal rate limit.
