DigitalOcean mitigated the AMD vulnerability CVE-2021-26339

What's this blog post about?

AMD recently disclosed a vulnerability affecting its Premium AMD Droplets on DigitalOcean's platform. The issue stemmed from a bug in the CPU core logic that could allow malicious users to cause performance or availability issues for other Droplets on the same hypervisor. However, the vulnerability has been successfully patched and no customer data was affected. DigitalOcean responded by rapidly mitigating risks and minimizing service interruptions through live migration of Droplets from vulnerable hypervisors to patched ones. The company remains committed to proactively detecting, protecting against, and responding to such issues in the future.
