Date & Time: Saturday, March 14, 2026 from 07:01 to 13:00 UTC
Affected Region: US-CA-2 (California)

Summary:
RunPod's data center partner has been notified by their upstream internet provider, of an upcoming emergency hardware upgrade on network equipment serving the US-CA-2 facility.

Expected Impact:
We anticipate minimal impact for pods in US-CA-2. In the most likely scenario, customers may experience brief packet loss during any carrier traffic switchover. A sustained outage is not expected. Infrastructure partners will be actively monitoring throughout the entire window.

Recommended Actions:
- Be aware that pods in US-CA-2 may experience brief, intermittent network disruption between 07:01 and 13:00 UTC on March 14th
- Expect to re-establish SSH sessions or restart network-dependent processes if connectivity is interrupted
- Monitor pods for connectivity during the maintenance window
