Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I SSH into my DigitalOcean Droplet?

SSH access issues during outages may indicate networking problems in your datacenter region. Check our status above and DigitalOcean's status filtered by your Droplet's region. If DO is up, try the web console in the dashboard as a fallback.

Is my DigitalOcean Droplet affected by the outage?

DigitalOcean outages are typically regional or datacenter-specific. Check which region your Droplet is in (nyc1, sfo2, etc.) and verify that specific region's status. Your Droplet may continue running even during control plane outages.

Why is my DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster unhealthy?

Kubernetes cluster issues can stem from control plane outages or worker node problems. Check the Kubernetes component status. Worker nodes may continue running workloads even if the control plane is degraded.

Does DigitalOcean downtime affect my managed databases?

Managed Databases run on separate infrastructure but may be affected during major outages. Check the Databases component status. Your database data remains safe, but connections may fail. Implement connection pooling and retry logic.
