Project Zero Vulnerabilities - New Linode?

I would like to add a new linode. The timing is not critical. Would it be best to wait until the server issues are fixed or is there a way to ensure that the new linode is on a server that has already received all of the mitigation measures?

Thank you,

fos

Hello fos,

If you create a new Linode it will be on a host that has gone through the most recent mitigation process. That being said, we are still working on patching the remaining vulnerabilities so it will likely need to be rebooted again in the future. You can read more about this here:

I hope this helps!
