One Linode 512 is not highly available. Two is. The documentation indicates that this service is highly-available.

True. I was intending to draw a comparison to what kind of load balancing you can get on Linode for $19.95 if you were to do it yourself. I highly doubt it is possible to roll a superior load balancer service on your own for less than NodeBalancer.
I was recently trying to figure out how I was going to handle this on Linode. I am very glad to see this new service. If NodeBalancer has the ability to fail over to other data centers in the instance of a data center wide outage then I'll be set.
