Incident Report

Summary AI Generated

Linode experienced global delays affecting VM cold and live migrations as well as resize operations across all regions for 1.5 hours. The issue was caused by an unexpected reboot of internal infrastructure components that failed to reinitialize properly, causing the migration queue to stall. The affected components were reinitialized, clearing the pending queue and restoring normal migration and resize functionality.

We are currently investigating an issue causing delays to both cold and live migrations globally. A number of migrations are stuck, and additional migrations are queued and pending across all regions. Customer Impact: Cold and live migrations along with linode resize may be delayed or unresponsive. We recommend avoiding initiating new migrations and resizes until this is resolved. We are actively investigating the root cause and will provide an update shortly.
