The other news not mentioned in the post is the switch to AMD EPYC CPU. I guess that is what offers much more memory and CPU core per "slices".
It is also interesting that DO decided their Non Standard Plan are CPU focus, while Linode is Memory Capacity focused.
I am not sure if Linode has improved their security, which damaged its image quite a bit. And if they have finally shipped their new Control Panel. UX was one reason why many went with DO.
Otherwise, Linode is still faster in CPU, Memory Speed, Disk I/O, Network Capacity, Network Speed, Latency. I don't know if all these are still true with new EPYC Sever. But sometimes I don't understand why Linode is not getting the similar attention as DO.
And similarly, I don't understand why everyone everything has to be on AWS. And why DO / Linode type of Cloud Services haven't moved up the ladder.
