The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me.
Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) offers scalability with easy server size adjustments and outstanding customer support. The service features competitive pricing, fast performance, and supports any Linux distribution. However, it lacks sufficient international server locations, particularly impacting Europe and Latin America. Limited data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa hinder service availability. Larger organizations may find scalability and advanced features insufficient, and improvements in security and DevOps workflows are needed.
