Pain Points

Why Teams Leave Akamai Linode

Linode/Akamai is a solid compute layer. CloudLink adds 15-min SLA DevOps, multi-cloud, FinOps, and security process on top.

VMs ≠ platform team

You still need CI/CD, Kubernetes, on-call, and FinOps. CloudLink owns the outcome.

Support depth

Provider tickets help infrastructure — not your application architecture at 3am with a contractual SLA.

Multi-cloud growth

Many teams add AWS/GCP later. We already operate hybrid estates.

Security process

Hardening, evidence, and runbooks require people and process.

Multi-Cloud

Deploy on Any Cloud. We Manage It All.

CloudLink is cloud-agnostic. Whether you're on AWS, Azure, or GCP — our engineers are certified across all three major providers.
