And as luck would have it this happened right after one of my biggest clients sent out a bunch of holiday coupon codes to all of their customers. Do. Not. Want.

This is really annoying... Down 2 times in 3 days!

Have they broken your SLA?

Linode has a 99.99% uptime guarantee, which amounts to 43 minutes and 12 seconds offline in a 30 day month. While I don't have a Linode in Freemont, their status page appears to indicate, at minimum, 1 hour of downtime. As repayment for the inconvenience, users get the lost time added to their balance.

And to think how much time I spent last month recommending these guys, especially the Facebook-friendly Fremont data center. Awkkkk-ward.

Are there clever solutions for routing traffic to other linode datacenters during one of these outages? I'm moving to AWS if I can't do something akin to elastic ip across datacenters. Linode currently only allows you to swap ip addresses within a dc.

Aside from choosing a terrible datacenter to colocate in, linode hasn't really done anything wrong here, and isn't responsible for this outage. The outage is actually the responsibility of Hurricaine Electric, the datacenter's actual owners.
