Linode Emergency Cloud IAM AuthZ Maintenance

THIS IS A SCHEDULED EVENT Mar 24, 11:00 - 14:00 UTC

Mar 10, 04:03 UTC
Scheduled - The Cloud IAM AuthZ (which is an authorization system underlying Cloud Manager, API and CLI) will be undergoing maintenance between 11:00 UTC to 14:00 (UTC) on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026. During this window, running Linodes and related services will not be disrupted, but there may be brief periods of increased latency of responses or unavailability of the Linode Cloud Manager, API, and CLI.

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 may 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 may 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 brief periods 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:
For brief periods during the maintenance window, current Linode customers may not be able to log in to the Cloud Manager, interact with the API, or perform any administrative or management functions. This includes actions such as create, remove, boot, migrate, back up, shut down, etc across all Linode services. While we expect the impact period to be approximately 10 minutes cumulatively across the maintenance window, a longer impact period is possible.

This maintenance will impact the Kubernetes API. Dynamic aspects of LKE that rely on the Linode API will also be impacted, including autoscaling, recycling, rebooting, attaching/detaching PVCs, NodeBalancer 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:
The Linode Cloud Manager may be offline for brief periods during the maintenance period, we are unable to accept requests for new accounts or authenticate accounts for users awaiting full account access.
