I’ve added a new utility which, in effect, allows you to do some of the whole “High Availability” clustering thing, with IP failover between Linodes within the same data center. The utility does not manage or configure IP failover for you, but it does allow the selected IP addresses from linked Linodes to be brought up on other Linodes.
This new feature is located off the Remote Access tab by clicking on “IP Failover”.

Either way it is amazing! I will test this feature soon.
Thanks!

Hi
Does linode supports “Ultramonkey” loadbalancing
Oh how did I miss this… nice 🙂
[…] but your server must be rebooted to use the new IP address. It is only Linode that offers a true floating IP that can dynamically move between servers without requiring either server to be rebooted. So Linode […]
How do I know that the 2 nodes reside in different hardware in linode?
Your Linode’s host will be displayed next to the ‘Host’ label on your Linode’s dashboard in the Manager. Our platform will try to make sure your Linodes are created on different hosts. If you end up with two Linodes on the same host, the Linode Support Team can help move one of them to a different host.
