Secure Your Data with Automated Local Compute Disk & Block Storage Volume Encryption

More users than ever subscribe to on-demand media streaming and engage with live streaming video over the internet, rather than broadcast television. This shift has led the need for highly-specialized technology to support performance-critical media transcoding and OTT streaming functionalities.  We recently launched Accelerated Compute, our new compute solution that provides access to application-specific integrated […]

We’re excited to announce the beta for Linode Interfaces, a better way to manage networking for your compute instances.  This new approach improves the legacy configuration profile-based interface and gives you direct, visible control over your instance’s network interfaces. With Linode Interfaces, what you see in the API matches what’s actually deployed, routing is more […]

Check Object Storage account usage and limits with quotas, now available in open beta.

As part of our mission to build the leading cloud for developers to create and scale applications, we’re continuing to add free intuitive features and products to secure your cloud resources. Our new Local Disk Encryption feature is the latest compute feature that we are gradually rolling out to all of our core compute regions. […]

As AI models continue to evolve into operational cornerstones for enterprises, real-time inference has emerged as a critical engine driving this transformation. The demand for instantaneous, decision-ready AI insights is surging, with AI agents – rapidly becoming the vanguard of inference – poised for explosive adoption. Industry forecasts suggest a tipping point, with over half […]

Decreasing round trip time is crucial for latency-sensitive applications so end users can experience as close to real-time interaction as possible. In some use cases, that performance is not just a perk; it’s expected for real-time gaming, media live streaming, and mission-critical software applications. Akamai’s Distributed Compute Regions provide access to highly performant, cost-effective cloud […]

Reducing infrastructure costs without sacrificing application performance is more important for media and streaming companies than ever before… and this is what everyone was talking about at NAB April 5-9. Believe it or not, this was actually equal to the AI buzz! While running demos and talking to customers at Akamai’s lounge each day, I […]

As your application scales, the manual toil of setting up and configuring a compute instance should evolve from a task to an automated pipeline. Images are a cornerstone to that pipeline, making it easy to capture and deploy the latest version of your golden image across multiple instances. We’ve made some recent improvements to our […]

Since we initially launched Distributed Compute Regions in 2024, some of our largest customers have leveraged these smaller cloud computing sites to bring applications as close to end users as possible, especially during surges in app usage. Now, distributed regions are even better with Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) capabilities, allowing customers to place their performance-sensitive […]

Media streaming is here to stay. The $100 billion segment of the media industry has rapidly flipped its stance in the media landscape. Just over a decade ago, online streaming was a niche way to binge TV shows on your computer. Now, it’s the primary way that households consume both entertainment and essential information. A […]

Today marks an exciting milestone as we announce the availability of Linode Kubernetes Engine – Enterprise (LKE-E), our new solution designed specifically for organizations running large-scale containerized workloads in production environments. Enterprise Kubernetes Made Simple Since we launched Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE), we’ve helped developers and their organizations deploy and manage containerized applications with improved […]

EZDRM is an independent software vendor (ISV) in the Akamai Qualified Compute Partner Program. Have you ever wondered whether video contribution feeds, which deliver live or pre-recorded content from creators to broadcasters and streaming platforms, need to be delivered over satellite or dedicated landline links? With increasingly powerful CDN connectivity, standards-based security resources, and distributed […]
