This goes to show you should not use DO, because they aren't truly global, and a single outage brings everyone to a halt. They don't think of region redundancy like the real cloud providers who actually have everything split up.
This is the reason I don't trust anyone who swears by DO.
not only the control panel... all my droplets are down in sfo1... looks like it's affecting more than one region as well... (a list of > 10 regions)
it will be interesting to know what caused this...
