Monitoring
Akamai is aware of an upcoming winter storm set to affect the continental United States during the upcoming days (https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/wssi/wssi.php). Akamai is working with our vendors to ensure proper preparedness to withstand the storm and take actions in case they are needed. We are actively monitoring the situation to ensure that services remain stable. If you are experiencing issues and are unable to open a Support ticket, please call us at 855-454-6633 (+1-609-380-7100 Intl.), or send an email to support@linode.com.
Our general best practice guidelines for all customers is to maintain redundancy of critical systems across multiple regions at all times. We also recommend that all customers maintain a robust backup strategy for their services at all times. Compute instances can be cloned or migrated to other datacenters through our self-service Cloud Manager or API tools. Note that migrating services between datacenters will result in changes to Backups and IPv4 and v6 endpoints:
