Question

How do I know Managed Database planned upgrade schedule?

My application platform has experienced downtime while Managed Redis is being upgraded during the upgrade window (2am on Sundays) twice in a month. I tried to find the planned upgrade schedule but to no avail. My questions are:

  1. Do DigitalOcean provide a planned upgrade schedule for each managed databases?
  2. If I add standby nodes, will it provide zero downtime during the upgrade?

Thank you!

Hi there,

Yes, you can even schedule the automatic upgrades at a convenient time for you.

You can do that by following the steps here:

Hope that this helps!
