Scheduled Maintenance

Nov 12, 19:02 UTC
Scheduled - The Linode Cloud Manager, API, and CLI will be offline for scheduled maintenance between 05:00 UTC and 06:30 UTC on December 16, 2026. During this window, running Linodes and related services will not be disrupted, but account management access and Support tickets will be unavailable.

Please ensure that you complete critical or important jobs in the Cloud Manager or API before the maintenance window. We will update this status page once this event is complete and Linode customers have full access to all Linode services.

Customers who need assistance from Linode Support during this time will need to call 855-454-6633 (+1-609-380-7100 outside of the United States) to contact our Support team. Please note that our Support team will not be able to assist with issues related to the Cloud Manager or API, authenticate users to their accounts, or respond to Support tickets for the duration of the maintenance window. As soon as our Support team regains access, we will answer tickets in the order they are received.

Impacts on Current Linode Customers:
Current Linode customers will not be able to log in to the Cloud Manager, interact with the API, or perform any administrative or management functions. This includes Create, Remove, Boot, Migrate, Back Up, Shut Down, etc.

The scheduled maintenance will impact the Kubernetes API. Dynamic aspects of LKE that rely on the Linode API will also be impacted, to include items such as autoscaling, recycling, rebooting, attaching/detaching PVCs, Node Balancer provisioning, as well as the ability to create new clusters. Cluster nodes and running workloads will not be affected.

Impacts on Users Trying to Create Linode Accounts / Awaiting Account Authentication:
While the Linode Cloud Manager is offline during the maintenance period, we are unable to accept requests for new accounts or authenticate accounts for users awaiting full account access.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Scheduled - We will be performing maintenance on our Block Storage switches in Mumbai on Thursday, November 16th at 11:00 UTC for a duration of 8 hours. Because of our redundant switching infrastructure, we do not expect any downtime during this maintenance. However, a brief period of packet loss or increased latency may be observed.

Nov 12, 13:00 UTC
Verifying - Verification is currently underway for the maintenance items.

Scheduled - We will be performing maintenance on our Block Storage switches in Mumbai on Thursday, November 12th at 11:00 UTC for a duration of 4 hours. Because of our redundant switching infrastructure, we do not expect any downtime during this maintenance. However, a brief period of packet loss or increased latency may be observed.

Investigating - Akamai is aware of the recently published F5/NGINX vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-15176, CVE-2026-97205, and CVE-2026-93479), and our teams are actively investigating their potential impact across our platform and infrastructure.

F5 has released out-of-band security patches addressing three critical severity vulnerabilities in NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus. These vulnerabilities may allow unauthenticated attackers to trigger heap buffer overflows, which could cause a denial of service or potential remote code execution if ASLR is bypassed.

If you are running a vulnerable version of NGINX Open Source or NGINX Plus on a Linode instance, we recommend following guidance from F5/NGINX and applying available patches.

We will provide updates as additional information becomes available.

Update - While we continue to deploy kernel patches across our infrastructure, we have also deployed network rules that drop IPv4 packets with optional headers on public and VPC interfaces. This eliminates the immediate remote attack vector and protects our infrastructure as well as customer workloads without impacting performance or functionality, and notably is not limited to only focusing on the MPTCP exploit, but the underlying vulnerability. We continue to track upstream OS provider security releases and will make updated distributions available to customers as they are released. Customers using the Linode provided kernel are likewise advised to deploy the latest version when it becomes available as well.

Oct 31, 01:55 UTC
Update - We are in the process of deploying mitigations for the underlying known attack vector while we continue to analyze any other possible impact. Customers are strongly advised to apply OS updates from their upstream provider to their workloads as soon as those become available. At this time, we have no evidence of this vulnerability being exploited on the Akamai Compute platform.

Oct 30, 21:18 UTC
Update - We are continuing to investigate this issue. The appropriate subject matter experts are engaged. Subsequent updates around mitigation status will be posted as progress is made.

Oct 30, 18:10 UTC
Investigating - Akamai is aware of the recently published remote code execution CVE-2026-98432. We are actively investigating and taking the appropriate mitigation actions, while we continue to monitor our platform in parallel.
