Service Issue - Linode Kubernetes Engine Enterprise (LKE-E)- IAD2 (Washington)
Between 17:25 UTC and 22:50 UTC on August 13, 2026, Linode Kubernetes Engine Enterprise \(LKE-E\) customers attempting to deploy G7 dedicated Linode instances in our Washington \(IAD2\) data center, received 403 provisioning error messages. Active workloads and running instances were not affected by this issue. Our investigation revealed that while total physical hardware capacity in IAD2 was sufficient, the provisioning request triggered an entitlement check failure due to an initial soft host-allocation threshold. Akamai resolved the issue by increasing the Linode-per-host limit from 5 to 20 in IAD2. Full deployment capabilities were restored and stabilized at 22:50 UTC. To prevent recurrence moving forward, we will implement dedicated alerting for entitlement and capacity issues, directly linked to response runbooks for rapid remediation. Additionally, we are building a centralized capacity overview dashboard to proactively track regional headroom. This summary provides an overview

Follow Akamai Cloud (Linode)
Your coding agent knows when Akamai Cloud (Linode) is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Akamai Cloud (Linode) incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.live/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "linode" and tell me if Akamai Cloud (Linode) has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
