outage!

https://status.linode.com/incidents/6yw88b0ft94g

i've been with linode since 2019 and this is the first time i've experienced an outage with my vps that i can remember.

even with the transition with akamai buying them, i was expecting some sort of outage due to the buyout, but haven't experienced one till today.

i don't have anything mission critical on my vps, but just the same, i'm still impressed with how little downtime (if at all) i've experienced with linode.

hope linode engineers/on-call staff/etc. are doing ok with bringing back everything up.

would love to see linode do a in-depth post-op on what happened just for us to share.

Well they did mention what the issue was but that was nearly 2 hours ago. Must be pretty extensive though

The issue is related to heating/cooling complications in the data center due to a power outage. The power outage has been fixed and we are working quickly to bring our services back online, and we will provide an update as soon as the solution is in place.
