A Different Approach to Open Cloud
We built Linode to democratize cloud computing. That starts with infrastructure not built on proprietary protocols. Enjoy the freedom to move workloads between Linode and other cloud providers. In an industry where being locked into large proprietary clouds has a real impact on budget and control, it’s not enough to say you’re open. You actually have to be open.
No Vendor Lock-in
The Linode API is completely open and free. You can build apps and infrastructure on top of it without sacrificing your future freedom. Linode fits seamlessly into a multicloud strategy. Get started with just an API key.
Collaborate and Innovate Faster
Have your say on how our API is developed. Share your feedback on our community site used by Linode customers and employees.
Open at Every Layer of the Stack
Unlike other cloud providers, we support all open source distros and don’t offer proprietary forks. We also develop in the open: Our Cloud Manager, CLI, and API documentation are all on GitHub and open source; and we work alongside the community to improve our software.
