Does Linode have managed Kubernetes?

Yes. Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) is production-ready with automated node scaling, integrated load balancers, and a managed control plane. We have operated LKE clusters in production for high-traffic applications.

How is Linode's egress pricing structured?

Linode includes 1TB of free outbound transfer per month per instance, pooled across your account. Overage is 0.01 per GB -- significantly cheaper than AWS or GCP. For high-bandwidth workloads, Linode's egress pricing is a major cost advantage.

Can you migrate our AWS workloads to Linode?

Yes. AWS-to-Linode migration follows the same audit-then-sprint pattern as any cloud migration. We map equivalent Linode services for each AWS resource and model the cost savings before you commit.

Our model on Linode

You own the account. We operate it.

We are platform-agnostic. We recommend Linode when it is the right fit for cost, compliance, or performance -- not because we have a reseller agreement. You hold the cloud account and we charge a flat engineering retainer.

No reseller margin

Your cloud bill is between you and Linode. We never touch the invoice or add a markup.

Flat engineering retainer

One monthly rate for the full scope of operations. Monitoring, patching, incident response, and cost reviews included.

30-day cancellation

Cancel any retainer with 30 days written notice. We hand off runbooks, IaC, and documentation -- you keep everything.
