✓ Use when

✗ Avoid when

Workloads deeply dependent on AWS-specific services (DynamoDB, Bedrock, EKS add-ons) — migration is non-trivial.

What is Linode (Akamai Cloud)?

Linode, acquired by Akamai in 2022, is an IaaS provider offering compute, object storage, managed Kubernetes (LKE), and managed databases. Post-acquisition, it has been integrating Akamai's massive edge network into a combined cloud + CDN offering. Still attractive for its flat pricing and developer-friendly UX; now also the basis of Akamai's broader cloud play targeting AWS workloads.
