Power Degradation impacting GPU Performance in ATL1

// Status page says

Sep 9 , 10:47 UTC Investigating - We are investigating a power issue affecting part of our ATL1 datacenter. Redundant power systems are keeping servers online, and we have not observed any server outages. However, available power capacity is reduced, which may cause degraded performance for some GPU workloads, particularly during periods of high utilization. Our datacenter and infrastructure teams are working t

🔴 DigitalOcean's MKC1 decided to take an unscheduled sabbatical, taking GPU workloads, Serverless Inference, and Kubernetes nodes along for the ride. Engineering is frantically flipping switches and probably refreshing their monitoring dashboards like they're slot machines. (Auto-resolved: no updates in 24h)
