Our Engineering team identified a disruption affecting VPC Networking operations that began at approximately 08:48 UTC. During this time, customers may have experienced delays or failures when creating or deleting VPC peerings, VPC Native DOKS clusters, or Private Network Connections (PNCs), as well as when adding cluster members. Creating routes and subnets may also have been affected. Operations are now returning to normal, and our Engineering team is monitoring the affected systems to ensure continued stability. Existing VPC resources and network connectivity remain unaffected. We will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available.
