I was going to post a separate top-level comment asking about Linode as well, but you beat me to it! I've never used Linode for my own projects before, or for anything production, but a company I've worked for in the past has used it's k8s offering for non-production/lab usage and I found it very slick and easy to use from the UX point of view. It was stable, performed well, and generally looked like a great product. We did run into one issue, though, where some internal and undisclosed account limit on I think the number of containers you could run had been hit because we had some automation starting a bunch of containers in there and then killing them off real quick (we were testing something if memory serves). All of a sudden we start seeing these unusual failures going on, coming from Linode's API, that made zero sense. So a manager contacted their support folks, who resolved it the next day with the first response to the support ticket. It wasn't production and we didn't file it as an emergency priority thing (even though it caused us to miss a deadline by like, a day I think), so I was perfectly OK with "next business day" turn-around. That's my very limited experience with Linode, and based on that alone, I'd certainly be willing to give them a shot for a small-scale production environment, at least. And if that didn't go south very quickly, I'd probably be willing to do more. A co-worker of mine is ambivalent to Linode, but swears by vultr. Says he loves them to death. I have no experience there, just wanted to throw out the name for anyone looking to see what options exist, so you know what to evaluate. |
