Capella Operations Impacted by GCP capacity issues

GCP us-central1 capacity issue impacting Operational Cluster lifecycle operations, including new cluster creation, turn-on, and backup. Existing clusters are unaffected, and we are actively working with the GCP team on the next steps.

We are in direct contact with GCP support to monitor us-central1 and will provide another update as soon as capacity stabilizes.

Recommended Workarounds:

• New Deployments: Select an alternate GCP region (such as us-east1, us-east4, or us-west1) for new cluster creation.
• Existing Clusters: Avoid pausing, stopping, or modifying existing us-central1 clusters until GCP resolves the capacity constraint, as turning them back on or adding nodes may temporarily fail.

The capacity issues impacting the GCP regions and resulting operational Cluster lifecycle operations, including new cluster creation, turn-on, and backup failures:

us-central1

asia-southeast1

us-east1

Recommended Workarounds:

• New Deployments: Select an alternate GCP region for new cluster creation.
• Existing Clusters: Avoid pausing, stopping, or modifying existing us-central1 clusters until GCP resolves the capacity constraint, as turning them back on or adding nodes may temporarily fail.
• Backups: Support Team will perform cluster backups to continue to maintain backups.

We continue to work closely with the GCP team on mitigation.

We have seen signs of recovery and failure rates have drastically reduced. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

We are continuing to monitor for any further issues.

Across us-central1, asia-southeast1, and us-east1 regions, we have verified that all Cluster lifecycle operations—including new cluster creations, turn-ons, and backups—are now functioning normally and completing successfully. Failure rates have returned to the standard baseline level.
