I know a number of you guys use Linode. I've used them myself for several years and haven't really had any problems to speak of. Today, however, it seems as though my server in their Newark facility is down. This is, apparently, related to a larger connectivity issue at the facility. I didn't get any warning from them about this. Had to discover it myself, so I thought those of you running traffic to Linode servers might appreciate a heads-up.

Here's an announcement of the issue from their status updates.
 


Less than 45 min, I think. Or at least, that's how long it took from the last conversion recorded by my analytics to my domain resolving again.
 
45 minutes of downtime a year comes out to a 99.99991% uptime which is fucking fantastic IMO. Sounds like it wasn't Linode's problem and was more of the datacenters problem.
