Linode/Akamai has notified me that they're forcing an offline migration of one of my primary databases within 48 hours.
In the middle of a week.
It'll cause ~8 hours of complete Overcast downtime if I don't bring up a new instance and migrate everything over myself by then.
And this server costs 20% more than it did a year ago.
The Akamai acquisition of Linode has not improved anything for Linode's customers, as far as I can tell. So far, we're just paying more for equal or worse service.
