   We are currently investigating an issue causing delays to both cold and live migrations globally. A number of migrations are stuck, and additional migrations are queued and pending across all regions. Customer Impact: Cold and live migrations along with linode resize may be delayed or unresponsive. We recommend avoiding initiating new migrations and resizes until this is resolved. We are actively investigating the root cause and will provide an update shortly.

   We have identified the root cause of the migration delays affecting all regions. An unexpected reboot of several internal infrastructure components at approximately 22:10 UTC on May 14 resulted in incomplete reinitialization, causing the migration queue to stall.The affected components have now been reinitialized and migrations are processing normally. The pending queue has cleared and both cold and warm migrations as well as resize jobs are confirmed moving.
