Subject: [web-team] Linode Support Ticket 10338283 - Scheduled Linode
	Maintenance

 
Hello,

Your Linode(s) have been assigned maintenance windows during which they will be rebooted. This maintenance is necessary to patch for variants 1 and 2 of the Spectre vulnerability[1]. The scheduled times for these reboots are listed within the Linode Manager[2] in the timezone set in your user's Profile[3].

Your reboot schedule in UTC is as follows:

 * 2018-05-11 6:00:00 AM UTC - svlugmicah

The above listed maintenance windows cannot be altered, postponed, or rescheduled.

A two-hour window is allocated for each reboot maintenance window, however, the actual downtime should be much less. During each reboot window, your Linode will be cleanly shut down and will remain offline until the maintenance is complete. Your Linode will be restored to its previous state (booted or powered off) when the maintenance is complete. These updates affect the underlying infrastructure that your Linode resides on and will not affect the data stored within your Linode.

To ensure your Linode’s essential services (MySQL, Apache, NGINX, etc.) return successfully upon reboot, we strongly recommend that you review Linode’s Reboot Survival Guide[4] prior to the start of the maintenance period.

If you would like more information, please see our Meltdown and Spectre guide[5].

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
