Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

A major infrastructure failure affecting multiple racks and nodes in DigitalOcean's MKC1 region caused an 8.5-hour outage impacting GPU workloads, Kubernetes (DOKS) worker nodes, Serverless Inference, and briefly disrupting CPU Droplets, managed databases, load balancers, block storage, and Spaces. Most services were restored within approximately 8 hours, with the regional control plane and non-GPU resources confirmed healthy. GPU Droplets remained partially impacted beyond incident resolution, with affected GPU customers receiving direct follow-up via Slack and email.

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.

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.

MONITORING 20 days ago - at 08/19/2026 06:59PM

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.
