Linode, now part of Akamai, provides virtual machines and managed services across a global datacentre footprint. As with other VPS providers, trouble is generally regional and affects networking or the block storage layer rather than the API, so existing instances lose connectivity while the control panel still works.

What to do if Akamai Linode is down for just you
  • Check whether the problem is limited to one region before assuming a global outage, since most cloud incidents are regional.
  • Query a second DNS resolver (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to rule out a resolution problem rather than a provider one.
  • Test from a different network or a machine outside the affected region, which separates a routing issue from a service issue.
  • Look at the provider's own per-service dashboard below, as one product can be degraded while everything else is healthy.
