Linode is a Linux-based cloud solutions provider offering IaaS solutions and more. It’s a less flashy player that positions itself as an alternative to AWS, and it has earned high praise from developers — even outranking AWS in terms of user reviews on G2.
As a Linux-based solutions provider, Linode focuses on openness and simplicity — as well as affordability. There are limitations, of course, to confining your business to Linux environments, and doing so won’t work for everyone. But if it works for your business, you’ll save quite a bit in most scenarios.
Even if Linode isn’t as well-known as AWS or Azure, it’s not exactly small. The company boasts 1 million customers and offers a 99.99% uptime SLA across 11 global regions.
Among those 1 million customers are household names like Best Buy, Wayfair, Marco Polo, the World Health Organization, Among Us, and Panasonic.
