Linode faz 14 anos!

LinodeTurns14_1200x631

Estamos comemorando o nosso 14º aniversário!

Gostaríamos de agradecer a vocês, nossos clientes, pelo seu negócio e suporte. Gostaria também de agradecer a toda a nossa equipe pela sua dedicação e compromisso para convosco e uns para com os outros. Temos uma grande equipe para ajudar grandes clientes. Plug sem vergonha: estamos contratando!

Tem sido um ano cheiro de tarefas - temos mantido a cabeça baixa trabalhando em muitos esforços. Aqui estão alguns destaques:

Serviço Block Storage Linode (em beta)

O serviço Linode Block Storage permite criar e anexar volumes de armazenamento adicionais às suas instâncias Linode. Os volumes de armazenamento em bloco são altamente disponíveis, rápidos e baratos - $0,10 por GB (grátis durante o beta).

O serviço de Armazenamento em Bloco está atualmente em beta, apenas na região de Newark. Agradecemos todo e qualquer feedback, portanto, se você estiver interessado em experimentar (é grátis!) ou quiser saber mais, por favor veja o anúncio original para mais detalhes.

Novo API e Gerenciador Linode (ambos de acesso antecipado)

A nova Linode API (documentação | anúncio) é uma implementação moderna e RESTful para os serviços da Linode. Tornar-se-á a base de todos os serviços atuais e futuros.

O novo Gerenciador Linode é uma aplicação de código aberto, in-browser. Nossos objetivos para o novo gerente são simplicidade, grande UI/UX, uma racionalização de muitos dos fluxos de trabalho existentes, e para construir isto como a plataforma para o nosso futuro.

Tanto a API quanto o novo Gerente ainda estão em desenvolvimento ativo, porém você pode começar utilizar agora mesmo. Mais uma vez, agradecemos todo o feedback!

A Rede Global da Linode

Na continuação do trabalho mencionado no nosso último posto de rede, a nossa equipe de engenharia de rede tem estado ocupada a construir a espinha dorsal global da Linode. Estamos a construir a nossa própria espinha dorsal de trânsito por todo o planeta. Mais sobre isso em um próximo post no blog na próxima semana.

Dallas2

Nós expandimos nossa região de Dallas, TX com a abertura de um segundo centro de dados de Dallas. Esta é uma instalação nova, de última geração, e está perfeitamente integrada na nossa região de Dallas. Já existem milhares de clientes nesta nova instalação. Informações mais detalhadas em um próximo post de blog.

Novo Escritório

Além de todo o trabalho árduo em que nossa equipe principal na Linode tem trabalhado nos últimos meses, também tivemos uma equipe de empreiteiros da Linode trabalhando arduamente em nosso novo espaço de escritórios na Cidade Velha da Filadélfia. O progresso está avançando rapidamente e a nossa equipe está entusiasmada com a mudança para as nossas novas escavações no final deste ano. Depois de nos mudarmos para cá, convidamos vocês para visitar se por acaso estiver na cidade!

Mais uma vez obrigado pelo seu apoio ao longo dos últimos 14 anos. Estamos eternamente gratos por todos e cada um de vocês.

Sinceramente,

Christopher S. Aker, CEO

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

    Happy birthday Linode!

    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!
