Am I the only one who has constant issues with VMs in Linode? I feel like that platform is the worst out of all the ones I've tried so far. Unfortunately, our company is stuck with it for now. :(
What kind of issues are you running into? There's a lot of issues that can happen on a server, but a lot of them are due to not enough resources or a misconfiguration.
Now, if your server is seeing constant issues on the host your server is on...
We occasionally experience problems with %steal due to other VMs in the same host. It was a lot worse when we had a critical service hosted in Linode, but that was gutted and moved to actual hardware. Only a small, low-traffic bit still remains in Linode.
