Understanding Linode Kubernetes Engine
Linode, recently acquired by Akami Technologies, is a developer-friendly private cloud that is very well-known for its easy dashboard and feature-rich platform that isn’t overly complex. Linode focuses on ease of use with a cloud -for -all mindset. Some key callouts for Linode include transparent pricing with almost zero guesswork, easily scalable workloads, a full/public API, and a GUI-based cloud manager. Most of all, Linode is known for its always human customer support.
When it comes to comparing Linode and other private cloud providers, Linode sticks out by offering cloud GPUs and high outbound transfer speeds, along with its customer support.
In this section, you’re going to learn about why you’d want to use Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE) and how to set up the LKE portal, create a Kubernetes cluster in LKE manually, take the same manual process to automate it, and deploy your Kubernetes workloads.
