Kubernetes Deployments in NYC1

Summary

Kubernetes Deployments in NYC1

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.
