It is recommended to delete and re open the Linode ECS for longer room switching time

A few days ago, Lao Zuo helped a netizen to open a Linode India server. Today, he told me that this server can be accessed in China, but it can't be accessed abroad. I don't know exactly. Anyway, he said so. What is the problem? Anyway, I see that the PING policy and SSH can also be connected remotely. There is only one way. Try changing a new IP address.

Here are two options I can tell him directly, or delete and re open a machine, so that there is a new IP address, but he needs to reconfigure the server environment himself. Or migrate the computer room, for example, first migrate to the United States or other regions, and then migrate back to the computer room in India, so that the IP address will change. After telling him the advantages and disadvantages, the student chose the latter, so I chose to switch the computer room.

I have also recorded the case of Linode server switching machine rooms before（ Linode's new cloud panel platform supports one click machine room replacement ）。 In the past, when I was dealing with switching, it didn't seem to take too long. When switching, we could choose to switch manually or wait for their progress to switch. But today, I saw something strange. It took about two days to complete the switch.

We can see that the time is much slower than before. Here, he still insists on switching. After all, there is data in it. So, here I switch, and wait for half a day to complete the switch. Let's see how many hours remain.

It will take more than ten hours to complete the switch. Lao Zuo personally believes that the reason for the current slow handover time of linode is to reduce the pressure through breakpoints. If many people switch data transmission together, the pressure can be relieved by queuing.

Therefore, Laozuo personally suggested that if we need to switch between the computer room and the IP address, it is recommended that the newly opened machine should be used first, and the old data backup should be transferred to the old one, which can save a little time.
