今天，我们发布了对Linode云管理器的一些关键改进。我们不断收集关于如何改善客户在我们平台上的体验的反馈，这些更新是我们在过去几个月中收集的反馈的结果。这个版本的重点是：
- 更新的导航和更直观地浓缩的菜单项目
- 关于Linodes的更多详细信息（计划类型、创建日期和标签）。
- 扩展的网络使用指标和单个Linodes的信息
- 通知窗格中包括未完成的票据和系统状态
作为这项工作的一部分，在过去的几个月里，我们还对云计算管理器进行了一系列的性能改进。(你可以查看我们的发布历史以了解更多细节）。
虽然界面与之前的迭代保持一致，但我们想强调几个方面，以帮助你在云管理器中顺利导航：
新的主页
以前，当登录到你的Linode账户时，你会被引导到一个仪表板页面。这已经与你的Linode的摘要相结合，包括一个可视化的状态指示器，并增加了标准桌面浏览器上的可见控件数量。
现有用户的体验
新用户的体验
调整用户设置和访问计费
原本分为 "账户 "和 "我的资料 "的设置已被整合到右上方导航的 "我的资料 "图标下。
我在哪里可以找到：
- 浅色与深色模式？在 "我的资料 "的设置下
- 紧凑型模式？整个界面更加紧凑；这个设置已经被取消了。
- 每月网络传输？ 点击一个单独的Linode并浏览到网络标签。
查阅帐单
你可以通过主导航中的 "账户 "链接快速访问账单。
更新的个人Linode视图
现在有更多关于单个Linode的信息，包括你正在运行什么，Linode ID号码，以及该Linode的创建时间。SSH访问现在显示在网络选项卡下，并且控制已经被整合和组织，以使用户更直观地了解。
改进的通知抽屉
通知抽屉包括你的系统状态、待办事项、未完成的支持票据列表，以及适用的发票信息，以便更容易找到关于你的基础设施和账户的关键信息。
我们一直在努力改善我们的云管理器的整体客户体验、可用性和性能。如果你想登记对这些更新的反馈，请访问https://www.linode.com/feedback/。

very good!
You removed the information about total network transfer usage across all Linodes in the account, though. 🙁
Thanks for bringing this up. Your Network Transfer Usage can now be found under your Linode’s “Networking” tab.
I appreciate that it can be found in the “Networking” tab, with a more detailed breakdown of the usage, but having the overall listed on the front page was very helpful and it would be nice to have it back.
The status of the overall monthly traffic pool is more useful than each usage.
Individual Linode overages don’t matter
I’m in agreement with Mike.
So many times, companies change things that really don’t need to be changed, and end up making it worse in the process. Then when people complain, you get the typical “we’re listening to feedback” kind of response, which just encourages them to make more pointless changes.
And the cycle continues.
We love getting feedback, and it has a direct influence on future updates, new features, and changes. It helps us get a sense of how much interest there is in a change and how we can improve. I’ve added your request for an overall Network Transfer meter on the main Linodes page to our internal tracker for review. If you have any suggestions or ideas, or if you just want to let us know what you think, you can always email the team here directly at feedback@linode.com.
change not always good
It has the agility of the previous version… :D.
At the beginning of the year it was terrible slow, and although I improve enough with new updates I never surpass to the deprecated version… it was something that was missed a lot. Congratulations for the change!
Thanks for the kind words, David! The only thing constant is change. And we’ll continue to strive to change for the better. ?
BAD!!!
Looks great! Thank you.
Can the homepage be set to display total traffic?
I agree with the other comments regarding total network transfer. It’s the actual statistic most of us care about, rather than individual nodes. I can’t imagine why someone actually thought it was a good idea to remove it, but it’d be nice to get it back!
We appreciate all of the feedback regarding visibility of total network transfer usage on the front page of the Cloud Manager. We hear where you’re coming from, and we’ve passed this feedback along internally so that we can look at moving the location of this information from individual Linode Network tabs to the front page.
Thats great. Last time I had sent some suggestions too to the creative team. I wish the fonts could change to roboto or Gotham.
Very negatively impressed. IMHO, this is change for change’s sake and offers no advantages for me and several disadvantages. Please stop “fixing” things that aren’t broken and making things worse (the Cloud Manager change several years back was also worse than the earlier version).
I’m sorry to hear how these changes have negatively affected your experience using our platform, though we certainly appreciate you taking the time to let us know. If you have any specifics that you can share regarding the changes, we’d love to hear them. Much of the changes came directly from customer feedback. Should you want to provide more details than a blog comment would allow, you can send us an email at feedback@linode.com.
Looks great! I love this style.
Well, i would still like to see some info about the size of the linodes in list view, it is very useful a lot of time. Especially since list view contains columns that i don’t really care about ( last backup, or even the running text in status column ).
Summary view has it, but that contains to many info ( ex. i access LISH console like once per year – with close to 100 linodes – i don’t really need that info on list/summary view. Same with SSH access, why would I copy/paste that from the view ?
Hey Sandor – having the Linode size listed is a great call out. While I can’t make any promises, I’ve passed along the suggestion internally for consideration.
Update: Looks like we’ll be bringing this feature back! I don’t have a specific date to give you, but the functionality will return soon.
Looks good in coming year!
Loving Linode
These changes may be good visually but certainly not functionally. I agree with Jonathan’s comments above, though I used a different “f” word in a support case I raised on first encountering the changes! I was pointed here, so I’ll raise my gripes publicly:
1) Ostensibly the ability to sort the disks on the Storage screen is good. EXCEPT that the old sort order (which was by disk creation time / order) is no longer possible. So you’ve gone from it being the only sort order available (iirc) to not being available at all!
So, for example, if you locally clone a disk called DISK it will create a new disk called “Copy of DISK”. Doing the same thing again will create another disk also called “Copy of DISK”. So it’s now impossible to tell which one is which because you no longer sort on creation order.
The solution to this is to include a sortable date-created or creation-index column
2) You no longer indicate on the Storage page how much storage is used / available. So are we supposed to add the column up for ourselves now and do mental arithmetic?!
3) After initiating a Disk clone from the Disk screen, the user is deposited back on a different screen – the Configuration screen. That’s not helpful.
4) You’ve moved the Configuration screen to a new page. There’s a tight coupling between Disks and Configurations, though, requiring constant reference between them which this makes harder. Eg before doing a Disk Deletion, it’s often desirable to verify the current primary disk before doing a disk deletion! This now requires the user to change screen, review the config, return to the previous screen.
If you want to have the Configuration as a separate screen, put a status marker against listed Disks to indicate whether the disk is referenced from a Configuration profile, and if so whether the profile is active (running) or not. Even better, make this marker a sortable column
5) When doing a Disk clone the sort order of the Linodes displayed is seemingly random within the datacenter, making it hard to find targets.
A very common target will be to clone the disk to its own machine, requiring unnecessary (and possible error-prone) searching for what in a previous UI iteration used to be a simple checkbox selection (iirc). There should be an easy way to just say “Clone to myself” – for example just display the current machine as the first entry in the dropdown list; that should be trivially easy and obvious for anyone who puts actual thought into how the UI is used.
AndrewM – you make some really good points. Without getting into things one-by-one, I can tell you that I’ve brought up several items here for internal review.
In the meantime, we’ve heard feedback about the ability to sort disks by creation date from other customers, and we’re aiming to release that feature this week. We’ll follow-up with you when it’s released.
Hi AndrewM. Wanted to follow up on this to let you know that sorting by disk creation date is once again available via a Linode’s Storage tab. Thanks for mentioning it along with your other feedback!
It’s going to take a lot of fixing to get it anywhere as good and convenient and clear as the old one. Just call it a failed experiment and bring the old one back, please.
We heard you! We’ve moved the transfer pool information back to the Cloud Manager’s front page. You can now see this information as soon as you log in, as well as under each Linode’s Network tab.
The account events page is still accessible at the same URL, but because the “View All Events” link that used to be available when clicking the bell icon, it is no longer possible to navigate to it as described @ https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/what-are-the-cloud-manager-events-and-activity-feeds/
This change makes it necessary to either bookmark the events page or remember the url and enter it by hand every time I want to visit it.
The changes are quite impressive and make us easy and confortable across linode enviroment..
