On November 9th, 2022 at 18:23 UTC, our operations team was alerted to a hardware issue with one of the physical hypervisors located in our Fremont, CA (US-West) data center. At 18:30 UTC, our admin elected to perform a drive transplant to return the impacted services to a functional state in a timely manner. This drive transplant was completed at 19:00 UTC, and after some routine software upgrades, the hypervisor successfully booted all Linodes at 19:26 UTC.
This issue extended to infrastructure that Lish, Weblish, and Glish services are dependent on. As a result these services were unavailable during the maintenance event. We are investigating solutions to improve the redundancy of these services.
