Linode は14年目に!

LinodeTurns14_1200x631

私たちは14歳の誕生日を祝います!

我々はお客様の皆様に感謝を申し上げます。また弊社スタッフの皆にその献身に感謝したいと思います。私たちは素晴らしい顧客を助ける素晴らしいチームを持っています。ちなみに恥知らずな宣伝です:社員募集中です!

今年は忙しい一年でした。様々な努力を行ってきました。いくつかのハイライトを次に示します。

Linode ブロックストレージサービス(ベータ版)

Linode ブロックストレージサービスを使用すると、Linode インスタンスに追加のストレージボリュームを作成することができます。ブロックストレージボリュームは、可用性が高く、高速、かつ安価 - GBあたり0.10ドル(ベータ期間中は無料) です。

ブロック ストレージ サービスは現在ベータ版で、ニューアーク地域でのみ提供されています。あらゆるフィードバックを歓迎するので、試してみることに興味がある場合(無料です!)、または詳細について知りたい場合は、正式発表を参照してください。

新しい API と Linode Manager (いずれも早期アクセス)

新しい Linode API (ドキュメント|お知らせ)は、Linode サービス向け RESTful の最新の実装です。これは現在および将来のサービス全ての基盤になります。

新しい Linode Managerオープンソースのブラウザアプリケーションです。新しい Manager の目標は、シンプルで優れた UI/UX、既存のワークフローの多くを合理化し、これを将来のプラットフォームとして構築することです。

API と新しい Manager はどちらもまだアクティブに開発中ですが、今すぐ使用できます。繰り返しますが、私たちはあらゆるフィードバックを歓迎します!

Linode のグローバル ネットワーク

前回のネットワーキング関連の投稿で述べた作業の続きとして、当社のネットワークエンジニアリングチームは、Linode のグローバルバックボーン構築に奔走しています 。私たちは、地球上を横断する独自のトランジットバックボーンを構築しています。詳細については、来週のブログ記事を参照してください。

Dallas2

テキサス州ダラス地域を拡張し、2 つ目のダラスデータセンターを開設しました。これは、新しい最先端の施設であり、私たちのダラス地域にシームレスに統合されています。この新しい施設にはすでに何千人もの顧客がいます。今後のブログ記事にて詳細情報を提供します。

新しいオフィス

私たち Linode のコアチームが過去数ヶ月間に取り組んできたハードワークのすべてに加えて、私たちは旧市街フィラデルフィアの私たちの新しいオフィススペースの準備のために一生懸命働いているもう一つのチームがいます。進歩は急速に進みつつあり、私たちのチームは今年の終わりに新たに復元された住居に移動することに興奮しています。引っ越しが完了した折には街にいらした際にぜひお越しください!

過去14年間のご支援に感謝いたします。皆さん一人ひとりに多大なる感謝をしています。

敬具

Christopher S. Aker, CEO

    You are hiring, but I assume you are not hiring for any remote only positions?

    The new Cloud manager requires hourly billing accounts? I hope this hourly billing is not the direction all of Linode is headed as opposed to the all you can eat monthly model. But at this point it said I’m on a legacy account and need to convert to hourly billing to log in.

    • Author Photo

      @artem Each plan on the new metered billing has a cap per month, you won’t pay more on for your services on that billing type compared to the legacy prepaid model.

    Yay! Give everyone a hug, from me!

    Happy birthday, Linode!

    Awesome! Happy birthday, Linode!

    Artem, the hourly billing model is actually a better deal than monthly. It’s still “all you can eat” but billed for the time you have the service, as opposed to buying a month in advance.

    Hey Linode! Happy Birthday! We’re excited about block storage here! If all goes well, is there a vague ETA for rolling out block storage in other data centers? **cough** Fremont **cough cough**

  9. Author Photo

    @Alex, @Soh, there’s a few of us lucky folks who are grandfathered in to a percent discount on our monthly plans. That’s probably Artem’s concern.

  10. Author Photo

    @artem Hourly is so much better than the old monthly model. I would expect Linode to continue to limit new features/upgrades to hourly accounts only.

  11. Author Photo

    Good times! Happy Birthday!

  12. Author Photo

    Happy birthday Linode!

    The new portal looks fantastic! So far it’s very quick and nice to look at. I’m going to try out the block storage shortly!

    Any plan to look at the odd pricing discrepancy for disk, bandwidth and CPU cores? 4GB linodes are not 4x better than 1GB, and the 12GB is incredibly poor value by comparison 🙁

    • Author Photo

      @Ben We’re always looking to upgrade and rework plans. The current plans available (aside from the recently released high memory plans and the $5 plan) have each had multiple upgrades, keeping their price point while upgrading their allotted resources. We plan to continue that trend 🙂

    Is Glish currently not available in the beta Manager?
    Also, do you plan on phasing out the classic, lo-fi manager?

    • Author Photo

      @William Glish isn’t available in it just yet, but it will be. No ETA on that just yet.

      We don’t have anything to announce regarding phasing out the classic manager, but you should expect all important functionalities on the new manager if that did come about.

    Wow! Just, wow! Is it really another birthday for you folks already? And wow, a 14th birthday to boot! Well, Linode, what else can I say, but, Happy 14th anniversary of existence! 🙂

  16. Author Photo

    Whoa! Philly? I’ll be over when you open, I’m over in University City. Where in Old City are you at?

    Happy 14th birthday! Looking great!

    Wooow, the new mananger looks awesome! Wonderful job!

  19. Author Photo

    Happy 14th Birthday Linode 🙂 Looks Like a Bright Future is Ahead. Keep it up.

  20. Author Photo

    The manager looks great. Is there going to be a link to Longview? That’s actually mostly what I use the manager for.

  21. Author Photo

    Really looking forward to block storage in Singapore!! Thanks team.

    Hi, I sent feedback about the new linode manager to the feedback address but I got a bounce message:

    “We’re writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (devs) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group”.

    Should I just ignore this, or do I need to e-mail someone else? Thanks!

    • Author Photo

      @Ben Sorry to hear that isn’t working, please feel free to either make a forum post or open a ticket with us with the feedback. We can forward that to our Dev team. Thank you!

    Happy B’Day

    Do you have any plan for Cloud Firewalls?

    • Author Photo

      @sss Thank you! We currently don’t have any plans for a firewall service, but it certainly is in the request list 🙂

    Why do your plans have an inverse volume discount? Spending $20 on a server gets you far less resources than spending $5 four times.

    Examples.
    Bandwidth:
    $5 server: $5 / TB.
    $10 server: $5 / TB.
    $20 server: $6.6 / TB.
    $40 server: $10 / TB.
    Storage:
    $5 server: $0.25 / GB.
    $10 server: $0.33 / GB.
    $20 server: $0.42 / GB.
    $40 server: $0.42 / GB.

    Something is clearly not right here, a plan that costs twice as much should come with exactly twice the resources, or more, definitely not less.

    Happy 14th birthday! Live long and prosper 🙂

    (need to swicth to hourly billing to test the new manager…)

  26. Author Photo

    @John: Well, you’re free to go find another reputable VPS host that scales their resources by price the way you seem to think Linode should. Gonna take you a while.

  27. Author Photo

    Do you have any promo t-shirts available?

    • Author Photo

      We do! Please either open a ticket or send a message over FB with your billing info + shirt size and we’ll take care of you.

    “We’re building our own transit backbone across the planet. More on that in an upcoming blog post next week.”

    It’s been over a week, where is the new blog post regarding the network upgrades?

  29. Author Photo

    Gratz, linode! I switched to you for my dev/honeypot years ago, and am glad I did! Stable, prompt updates and alerts. Perfectly meets my vps needs!

    Love the vagrant linode support as well! Makes dev instances a breeze.

    Hey good news hearing about this block storage! I just didnt understand the difference of having a block storage attached to a linode VS using a linode with more disk space? I know it’s still beta and only Newark, but could I use this block storage to extend my linode size? Currently I have a linode at dallas and most of the time 90% of memory and CPU are completely free. I just need to use my plane cause of the space I need. If I could use a cheaper linode I would but unfortunatelly the cheaper linodes have also a cap in the disk size. So with this block storage news, could I use the cheapest linode available and attach a block storage to it?

    • Author Photo

      You can use the block storage to increase the storage of any of your servers, so you would definitely be able to attach the desired block storage size to the cheapest Linode as needed.

    Happy 14th birthday

    If I’m forced to switch to hourly billing to use new services then I will plan to switch to AWS. Thanks.

  33. Author Photo

    Happy birthday, Linode! I’m a proud customer. Your services has really been a great change for my business. 🙂 Keep up the great work!

  34. Author Photo

    Block storage should come at lower price or offer additional functionality such as mount over NFS or mount on multiple linodes. We should also be able to take manual or automated snapshots of a volume. Also looking forward for high CPU and/or custom (CPU, RAM, HDD) linodes.

  35. Author Photo

    Comments such as “Hourly is so much better than the old monthly model” are not made by anyone that has been prepaying for years. If you have servers configured for the entire month, there is no pricing advantage to hourly and the switch to hourly means you’ll be paying either 10% (one year prepaid) or 15% (two year prepaid) more under hourly billing.

    I’ve been prepaying for the 15% discount for over 6 years, and as Dilton suggests, removing the discount will cause many of these accounts to sadly leave Linode, either because of the cost or because of the hurt that removing a loyalty perk will result in. You have to remember, the annual discount was implemented over 9 years ago. It’s easy for those that have never been a part of it to tell us to tell us the hourly plan is better.

    While I understand the hourly model is one Linode wants to embrace for all and makes sense for them, and I have no problems with it myself, unless there @caker finds a way to provide a similar loyalty break, the price increase will greatly diminish loyalty of clients like us, much like we now already feel the line has been drawn in the sand and we will never be using the new Linode manager, and someday will have to leave. That will be hard when you’ve been proud to see Linode’s success over the years and have been so happy to be a part of it.

      We certainly hear this and it’s being discussed at lengths among the company. We won’t just hard-push everyone from prepaid over to metered, we’re looking for solutions that will incentivize the transition over. It’s amazing to have had you guys with us for so long and we have no intention to disrespect what we’ve built together 🙂

    I have some feedback on the beta block storage service:

    1) It rocks! Thanks for finally rolling this out.
    2) See #1.

    Now using this on a 100gb volume and enjoying lots of breathing room for scheduled backups. Do you have any update on an ETA for the final release?

    • Author Photo

      We’re so glad to hear that! We don’t have an ETA yet but we are moving to include more datacenters in this beta soon, then work from there.

  37. Author Photo

    Please bring block storage to Europe (london)! Would really help with backups.

  38. Author Photo

    For followers, block storage is available in Fremont now (guess they haven’t blogged about it yet)…woot!
