I'm one of those customers (for 8th year already) and for me it's not a big deal. Unless you are one of those high profile customers who needs constant API access, those few minutes of downtime is not a big deal. Not everyone is spinning up and down new instances all the time. Plus - not all attacks result in downtime for them. Sometimes you do not notice at all, sometimes responsiveness will suffer a bit. And as I said - their defenses have become way better than they were a year ago. And it's not really fair to compare Linode to AWS. It would be more interesting to see how would DigitalOcean handle the same amount of attacks. And I doubt DO would handle them any better than Linode.
