We noticed that new virtual machines, MDB and K8S nodes (hereinafter referred to as VMS) are not being created in the ru-central1-a zone. Previously created VMs are working normally. Colleagues are already correcting the situation. We are awaiting an update on the incident status at 13:30 Moscow time.

Currently, operations (creation, deletion, start/stop, modification) with VM, MDB and K8S nodes are not available in the ru-central1-a zone. Previously created and running VMs are working normally. Colleagues continue to fix the situation. Recommendations for scaling the load are to deploy resources in other availability zones. We will post the next update on the situation before 15:00 Moscow time.
