Linode down yet again?
I can't reach anything on the fremont network, or blog.linode.com. Not sure if this is linode-specific or Hurricane Electric again. Anyone else having issues?
- "We do not expect a significant interruption of service during this maintenance window."
- "There will be a brief period of connectivity-loss while our network infrastructure undergoes this maintenance."
- "Routing for some subnets has been affected. We working with the NOC to bring them back as soon as possible."
On the other hand, it is great that Linode had alerts posted on the status blog in advance, and worthy of note that every host will have downtime. Having a backup solution in place should be a responsibility that lies in the hands of the customer, but you're right: without verified notification it's a little hard to plan ahead.
I have to say though, having switched to Linode from a more crowded, oversold host (BurstNET), the difference is amazing.
I can't get to their blog though.
