Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I access my Linode server?

Access issues during outages may be datacenter-specific. Check our status above and Linode status filtered by your datacenter region. Try Lish (Linode Shell) via the web console as an emergency access method.

Is Linode now part of Akamai?

Yes, Linode was acquired by Akamai in 2022 and is now 'Akamai Cloud Computing'. The platform continues to operate with the same features, and status updates are available at status.linode.com.

Does Linode downtime affect my NodeBalancers?

NodeBalancers may be affected during regional outages. They perform health checks on your backends, so if those fail, traffic routing is impacted. Check NodeBalancer status and ensure backend Linodes are healthy.

How do I migrate away from a failing Linode region?

Use Linode's Clone feature to duplicate your Linode to another datacenter. For databases, use Linode backups or manual exports. Consider setting up replicas across datacenters for future resilience.
