  5. Resolved

    On April 20, 2026, approximately between 11:05 UTC and 13:10 UTC, Frankfurt \(DE-FRA-2\) data center experienced degraded connectivity and performance issues for Compute services, including Linode and Object Storage. During this time, customers in the Frankfurt region may have experienced packet loss or connectivity issues Initially, we suspected ongoing power maintenance at the datacenter to be the cause; however, this was later determined not to be impacting. Further investigation revealed the connectivity issues were affecting certain compute hosts within the site, as well as host job completion issues site wide. Akamai identified incorrect route advertisements coming from a host within the datacenter, which contributed to the disruption. The affected host was identified and isolated, which mitigated the issue and restored service stability. We apologize for the impact and thank you for your patience and continued support. We are committed to making continuous improvements to make our systems better and prevent recurrence. This summary provides an overview of our current understanding of the incident, given the information available. Our investigation is ongoing, and any information herein is subject to change.
