I think "Outage" as stated is a bit over-the-top. We run significant operations in most of these DCs, and we have seen zero impact. YMMV of course, but I think it's a big disingenuous to say this is a full outage.
Shameless plug - we're helping orgs fix this and get better clarity:
Shoot me a message mb @ awareops dot com or go ahead and sign up.
Amusingly, I am trying to log in to the dashboard to reboot my nodes, but it requires a verification code which was sent to my email, which is hosted on Linode.
That’s too bad. Which other vps hosts are folks using these days besides aws/azure/gc? If anyones thinking of switching to digitalocean, I’m currently switching linode from digitalocean who had an unforgivable, catastrophic loss of vm. Digitalocean also prevebts customers from downloading disk image backups offsite for any kind of adult DR. Linode lets you download backup images right from the admin console.
deets?

Default created Debian based linodes use a static IP. How they assign you the IP is they have an initial network boot script that injects that static IP into your config. I learned this because I wanted to test image recovery of deleted linode. When I restored it, I got a different IP address from linode (the static IP assigned to me), and I couldn't connect to it. Using the web console I found the IP address was har…
Maybe this changed recently but I created a few Debian instances this year, both were configured with DHCP by default

The Akamai acquisition has had me kind of stressed to be honest. Here in Oceania there aren't a whole lot of established "cloud" hosts to pick from that host locally. Linode is fantastic and I have loved them for 10+ years. Digital Ocean doesn't host here, nearest is Singapore. Vultr does but I have had poor experiences with them. The other options are AWS and Google which are potentially unbounded expenses which is…
Just curious, what caused the poor experience with Vultr?
In almost 20 years with Linode, I've had nearly zero problems. Akamai buys them, and within months we have an outage. Not encouraging... On the other hand, it's only hitting my personal website, and the customer I have on Linode seems unaffected, so that's nice at least.
