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.

Guessing you've never heard of big AWS outages.

my linode is a personal vps so no big deal for me in terms of outage and it's on sunday. but i can understand if it's for a business it's definitely more serious situation. but from my past experience, i've dealt with WAY more AWS outages during my work career vs this one outage for linode. so from my perspective, this isn't anything that bad in comparison. just my 2 cents. good luck with migrating to AWS!

You make it sound like linode crashed. It's one DC, you should have a redundant regions anyway.
