How is Digital Ocean building/configuring their network such that planned maintenance as part of upgrades to their core routers still result in outages?
During the above window, our Networking team will be performing maintenance on core switches in our NYC1 datacenter as part of network upgrades.
Expected Impact:
We anticipate brief interruptions in network traffic from Droplets and Droplet-based services. This impact would be for a duration of 5 to 10 seconds and could occur a few times within the maintenance window. We will endeavor to keep any such impact to a minimum.
Didn't we figure out how to put two network cables into a server, each from a different router like... 2 decades ago? Ditto for incoming feeds and so on.
