Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

Scheduled -
Security releases for Nix and for the Linux kernel have been published which affect our NixOS platform CI/CD server ("Hydra") that generates our Linux distribution and provides Nix channel tarballs. There will be at least one downtime of 10 minutes in this period while we apply updates, which can affect system rebuilds ("fc-manage"). Deployments might fail because of this.
The performance of running applications is not affected and package downloads are handled by our S3 object storage independently of Hydra.

Update -
We are seeing things improving globally. DENIC has not updated their status page yet, but external monitoring services are showing significant improvements and we haven't seen alerts for a while.
We'll keep this open until tomorrow morning to check back on the status and turn DNSSEC back on if everything looks back to normal on the DENIC side.

Monitoring -
Disabling DNSSEC for the time being appears to be providing relief. We've applied this to the main data center routers/resolvers and are also rolling this out in our other locations.
As this is only a workaround and there might be further impact not visible yet, we're keeping the statuspage on "partial outage" for now.
May 5, 22:44 CEST
Update -
DENIC has confirmed having issues: https://status.denic.de (might not be accessible at the moment as it's ... hosted within the affected .de domain). It appears that there's a DNSSEC issue ongoing.
We're trying to see whether we can provide some relief by disabling DNSSEC checks intermediately.
May 5, 22:40 CEST
Identified -
Global monitoring utilities [1] and [2] report major issues with the DE top level domain. We have not yet seen public comment from DENIC and are verifying whether other domains are impacted as well.
Investigating -
We're currently investigating widespread DNS issues with effects on resolution of DNS records from our platform, our customer DNS and external DNS zones.
We have found indicators of a potential widespread external issue but are following up on multiple leads at the moment.
