By migrating from AWS to Google Cloud Platform, we have saved a lot of time and money.
They were very responsive to my issue.
They respond with relevant and easy-to-follow solutions.
For my usage, which is a small business, I rate the scalability of Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) around nine or ten.
The autoscaling capabilities of Google Kubernetes Engine have significantly impacted our operations.
If I have 100 replicas of containers and the traffic suddenly pushes to 1,000 within a fraction of a second, the selected machine type must be fast.
The main area for improvement is the lack of a backup feature to the local hard disk or storage.
The main improvement I would like to see from Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) is the ability to duplicate the server as it is and initialize a new one with the same features.
It would be useful to have the option to sort or group by tags on the domains page.
When looking at the web interface, it feels kind of slow due to the many features involved.
It would be helpful if I could easily find log information in a particular namespace without needing to write certain labels.
Log observability could be made easier so someone from high school can use it without having technological expertise.
I find Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode)'s pricing very competitive.
Instead, we only pay for the hardware we use, which results in cost-cutting.
The on-demand nodes are quite expensive.
Google is considered cheaper compared to AWS, making it suitable for smaller to medium companies concerning cost.
Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) is easy to use and has a fair price, making it accessible and straightforward, which is crucial when compared to other complex solutions.
Their support is really good. I can ask anything at any time, and they are able to resolve issues like reinstating deleted Linodes.
Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode) is cheaper.
The best advantage of Google Kubernetes Engine is that it manages Kubernetes for you, making everything related to the master nodes managed for you with automatic updating and upgrading.
The most valuable aspect of Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is its managed nature, which significantly reduces the burden on our platform team.
GKE is easier to understand and use than Elastic Kubernetes Service.
