Developments for Atlanta Linode Status - Connectivity Issues - Atlanta

Update - Our Network Engineers are still working with our upstream provider on mitigating this latest DoS attack. We'll post an update here when we believe connectivity has normalized.
Jan 2, 13:45 UTC

Update - Around two hours after bringing things back online, attacks on Atlanta have started again which are affecting the entire datacenter. At this time we are being taken back offline to attempt further mitigation.
Jan 2, 07:01 UTC

Update - We have received word that all of our Atlanta IP space is now being announced. We are still fine tuning our geographic blocking, so people in the affected regions may see intermittent loss of connectivity over the next hour or two.
Jan 2, 05:24 UTC

Update - Zayo has begun bringing our IP ranges online.

For the short term, we will be using BGP communities to attempt to block Asia Pacific, the Middle East, South America, and others, hopefully leaving us only with traffic from North America and Western Europe. Blocking geographic regions this way is the only way to make sure that large botnets won't be able to launch further attacks.

We hope to have all of our Atlanta IP space advertised in the next several hours.

Update - Our upstream provider has informed us that they plan to restore network connectivity to our systems gradually over an undisclosed period of time. There is no ETA at the moment, but our engineers and leadership team members are working closely with theirs to accelerate this process as much as possible. We will provide another update as soon as more information becomes available.

Update - Our networking team is still working to harden our dedicated transit link in Atlanta against further attacks. Once this process has been completed, connectivity should be restored. We'll continue to provide updates as things progress.
Jan 2, 22:01 UTC
Update - Our Network Engineers are still working with the transit provider mentioned below to apply the necessary DDoS mitigation hardening to facilitate restored connectivity to our infrastructure in Atlanta. We will keep you updated as these efforts continue.
Jan 2, 21:15 UTC
Update - Our network operations and systems teams have been working non-stop for the last ~36 hours toward a resolution of the Atlanta outage. We have acquired a dedicated transit link that is now directly connected to the Linode network, and we are waiting for this transit provider to apply DDoS mitigation hardening, after which we believe that Atlanta should be restored to full service. We will keep you updated as things progress.
