CDN provider Akamai has announced that it has acquired Linode an IaaS cloud hosting provider for $900 million. I’ve been using Linode since 2014 and have grown to love their resilient offerings and loved their independent bootstrap origins so the news took me back a bit. However, I am also excited to see what Akamai can bring to the table. This blog post is for my thoughts (wishlist) on this acquisition.
