Outage in Linode
Service Issue - Linode Automated Networking
Resolved MinorIncident Report
Summary AI Generated
Linode's Network Helper failed to automatically configure networking on newly provisioned Linodes, causing instances to appear without connectivity and disrupting Linode Kubernetes Engine cluster provisioning and autoscaling. The issue lasted approximately 1.2 hours, during which affected users could manually configure networking via the LISH console as a workaround. A fix was deployed and the incident was resolved, with a reboot recommended to restore full network functionality on affected Linodes.
Our team is investigating a service issue that affects the auto configuration of networking on Linodes by Network Helper to fail. During that time, some users may have Linodes provision but appear to have no connectivity. This also can impact Linodes created by the Linode Kubernetes Engine and impact autoscaling or provisioning of clusters. Customers can still manually configure networking via the LISH console to mitigate this issue. Please see our guide on manual network configuration on a Compute Instance.
We will share additional updates as we have more information.
