我很高兴地宣布，Linode已经达成了被Akamai收购的协议。
你可以在我们的新闻发布厅阅读官方新闻稿。
如果您还不了解Akamai，他们从网络的早期就已经存在了。他们发明了CDN，并运营着世界上最先进的内容分发平台。多年来，他们在其产品组合中增加了世界级的安全和边缘解决方案等。
与 Akamai 一样，我们也是云计算领域的早期先驱。近 20 年前，Linode 从一间公寓起步，如今已发展成为一家拥有 256 名员工的公司，在 11 个市场运营，为 185 个国家的客户提供服务。我们赢得了数百万客户的信任，加快了创新步伐，打造了世界一流的产品，并将 Linode 确立为行业最大竞争对手的真正替代者。
当我们开始审视我们的长期路线图以及如何提供最佳的客户体验时，我们知道这需要更多--更多的网络、更多的安全、更多的规模。这些都是Akamai比别人做得更好的事情。应用和数据越来越多地被推向边缘，您需要更广泛的弹性、覆盖面、低延迟和安全性。将Akamai擅长的事情与Linode擅长的事情结合起来，使这些事情在一个屋檐下大规模地进行，创造出世界上最分散的计算平台 - 从核心到边缘。
Akamai和Linode之间有着天然的协同作用，这不仅体现在我们的使命和文化上，还体现在我们各自带来的强大力量的结合上。Linode的计算和存储产品与Akamai的无服务器、CDN和安全解决方案的结合，将为客户提供更广泛的服务，以建立、更新和扩展下一代的应用程序。
在不久的将来，我们将继续像以往一样运作。Akamai无意改变使我们成功的因素。这次收购将推动我们双方的发展，而不是带走任何东西。Linode将很快能够借助Akamai的力量，提供全新的产品、服务、专业知识、地点和规模，而Akamai将能够利用Linode在计算、存储和按需基础设施即服务方面的深厚专业知识。
今天，我们开启了Linode故事的新篇章--在一个越来越多地寻找替代方案的市场中，我们的地位得到了加强。该交易预计将在2022年第一季度完成。
感谢您--我们的客户、合作伙伴和社区--对我们的支持和授权，让云计算变得简单、实惠、易用。

I wish you the best of luck.
I have been a Linode user for a long time. I sincerely hope Akamai will not turn Linode around.
Christopher Aker said, “Akamai has no intention of changing what has made us successful.”
Hope to see Linode moving forward with new service and bundle CDN free 😀
Me too
Awesome combination !
Congratulations to both Akamai and Linode for their new journey together. I’m sure that the winner will be us leveraging value of the merger.
Like others here, I wish the best for Linode and its staff.
I have been a customer for nearly 12 years and have appreciated the ability to continue to operate a virtual server the way they did it in the “good old days,” while at the same time taking advantage of certain “cloud services.” Linode has always been helpful and supportive toward my goals.
My hope is that while the Akamai acquisition gives Linode an opportunity to expand its menu of services, that they continue to support those of us who wish to operate our own small servers in a VM, with the same management interface and pricing structure that we have now. I read the Akamai official press release and a lot of it sounded like gibberish to me.
What Linode always brought to the table for me is a simple, straightforward service offering and configuration interface, and a fair pricing structure. I hope that Akamai doesn’t lose sight of the value in this.
Me too
Just moved all infra from google to linode to see this. Hope it does not screw things up.
Yes. Me too.
New lInode user and love it so far. Seriously hope Akamai boosts it rather than flip it.
Anyone know if Vultr or uses ECC memory on their $5 plan? That was one thing I like about Linode is that everybody got ECC.
I’m a current Linode customer, and while I’m not your largest customer (I average about $130/ month in spend) I do spend a fair penny.
Not going to lie, I’m really concerned about this. I haven’t had many (any?) good experiences with Akamai, either from dealing with them directly or in the aftermath of other Companies that they have acquired.
It sounds like a great bundle. I hope we can get a CDN package from Linode dashboard one day.
I missed this blogpost when it was published. Today I received a credit card charge from Akamai. I called them up to ask why. They told me that it must be fraudulent, and they’ve gotten many such calls recently. After hanging up I noticed that the dollar value matches my Linode invoice, and found this blogpost.
The fact that Akamai’s billing support is in the dark about the acquisition, telling customers it must be fraud, is an extremely bad indicator of their culture.
I’m glad the old-timers working at Linode were able to finally cash out, but this is Linode’s death knell.
I hope this is a benefit to Linode users and we are not being relegated to a second class user. There is stiff competition; DigitalOcean to name one. My monthly bill has almost doubled since I joined Linode so I am worried that it’s going to double again and make it simply not cost effective to use Linode anymore.
RIP Linode, in few years we can expect it will become another crap like AWS….
it is now :/ prices has doubled
rip linode i had 10 servers before but after akamai the prices has raised a lot of
Yeah, im planning to move to new provider
OMG, Just moved all infra from google to linode to see this.
Anyone know if Vultr or uses ECC memory on their $5 plan?
