Congrats Linode. I have been a customer for many years.

Why could there not be a $5 1 GB plan? I have quite a few instances for which I don't need even 1 GB, let alone 2.

Doubling the RAM is great but what about storage? Why is RAM and storage still coupled? It's a pay for what you don't use system, having to upgrade to a 24 GB, 8 core box just to get some decent drive space. Ridiculous.

I have been with Linode for many years now but it's lack for even some basic modularity will see me leave to AWS soon.

Once Digital Ocean launches their block storage feature, it will probably put some pressure on them. Honestly, it's something I've been looking forward as well.
Some needs to make a lambda competetor too
You can add disk space or ram independently, if I remember correctly, once you have a VM.
I know, they are "extras". $144 p/a for 12 GB of disk space. $240 p/a for 360 "MB" of RAM...
