Overall Satisfaction with Linode

Linode instance is used for VPN, ownCloud, and occasional service testing.

Pros

  • Simple billing
  • Excellent value
  • Clear guidance for setup of common use cases

Cons

  • Add on storage for all tiers.
  • Storage pricing based on upload/download usage.
  • Yubikey integration for additional security options.
  • The low base level cost facilitates nice-to-have available services (VPN, gitlab, etc.).
Google cloud provides serverless scalable services that protect key business pipelines from falling over during unexpected high volumes. Linode clusters require management and provisional scaling, which is acceptable in most cases but still requires monitoring. That said, GCP billing also scales appropriately, but often slightly higher billing is preferable to fall-over.
The none-to-full service options are adequate. Combined with the excellent documentation, the none options is often viable.
For consistent or predictable loads the existing structure works well. The kubernetes clusters were a great addition that allowed for many more options. Rapidly scaled "serverless" process options would provide sufficient power to challenge GCP/AWS in many business cases. With the addition of database services, this would cover all my companies and clients GCP use cases.
