Maintenance
Nov 16, 2026 at 4:00pm UTC

We will be performing software updates on Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE) control planes as part of our ongoing effort to maintain a reliable and secure hosting environment.

Start: 2026-11-16 16:00:00 UTC
End: 2026-11-16 19:00:00 UTC

What to expect:
- Your cluster's control plane will be upgraded at some point during this window. The exact time for each cluster is not scheduled in advance and cannot be provided.
- Each control plane will be unavailable for less than five minutes. During that brief period, the Kubernetes API and cluster management operations, including deployments and scaling, will be temporarily unavailable.
- Existing workloads will continue to run. Worker nodes are not rebooted and no pods are restarted. Load balancers, block storage, and other attached resources are unaffected.
- CI/CD and GitOps tools may report transient errors during the window and will retry automatically.

What you need to do:
No action is required. If you have time-sensitive deployments planned, we recommend avoiding this window.

We will publish updates at https://status.vultr.com/ when the maintenance begins and when it completes. If you experience any issues after the window closes, please contact Support.
