Since Akamai acquired Linode in early 2022, we’ve worked hard to bring the platform together under one roof. with the announcement of Akamai Connected Cloud, Linode is now fully integrated into the Akamai brand. Going forward, Linode’s services will be referred to as Akamai’s Cloud Computing Services.
What is Akamai Connected Cloud?
Akamai Connected Cloud is a massively distributed edge and cloud platform for cloud computing, security and content delivery. Akamai’s cloud computing services include the essential compute, storage, network, database, and container management cloud services businesses need to build, deploy, and secure applications and workloads anywhere they connect online. It is included. Cloud computing services running on the Akamai Connected Cloud enable enterprises to distribute workloads and applications across a continuum of computing (from core to edge) to reduce the cost, Meet performance and scale challenges.
Expanding our mission
Linode’s mission was to accelerate innovation by making cloud computing simple, affordable, and accessible. That mission continues as part of Akamai’s bold new vision with a wide range of services developers need, running on one of the world’s most distributed cloud platforms. In addition, developers have access to:
- Three new enterprise-scale core cloud computing sites in the US and Europe. In addition to 11 existing cloud computing sites, the new site will be connected to Akamai’s backbone and connected to the most distributed edge network on the planet. They will also serve as templates for 10 core sites that we plan to roll out worldwide throughout the year.
- We plan to begin rolling out distributed sites this year in over 50 cities. It brings basic cloud computing capabilities to hard-to-reach locations currently underserved by traditional cloud providers. These regions offer a subset of Akamai’s cloud computing services, but are identical in terms of availability and performance.
- Aggressive new cloud egress pricing that leverages the power of Akamai’s network to reduce cloud egress costs by bringing CDN-like economics to cloud data transfers. Our new egress pricing model is designed to provide significantly discounted egress rates compared to hyperscalers and alternative cloud providers.
- Compliance with new ISO, SOC 2, and HIPAA standards is available immediately.
Over the next few months, you’ll notice cosmetic changes to your Linode experience, such as the Akamai logo appearing where the Linode logo used to appear. It also improved the overall flow between the two sites to maintain the simplicity developers have known from his Linode, offering both developers and businesses new services running on his Akamai Connected Cloud. We are working to introduce Over time, you’ll also notice other design and user experience improvements based on our product roadmap. There are currently no changes to Linode’s social channels.
What hasn’t changed is the price/performance ratio, portability, and award-winning support that developers love. We thank our customers for their trust in us and are excited to help them build, secure and deploy modern applications on a cloud built for the future.
