How to evaluate Cloud Platforms & IaaS
This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Linode (Akamai). It comes from our Cloud Infrastructure & IaaS buyer guide.
25%
Compute, AI Silicon & Scaling
Instance-family breadth (general, compute, memory, ARM/Graviton-class), serverless and container compute, spot/preemptible pricing, and — increasingly decisive — GPU and custom-accelerator availability (Nvidia plus Trainium/TPU/Maia), reserved AI capacity, and queue priority for scarce silicon
20%
Networking & Data Egress
VPC/VNet design, private connectivity (Direct Connect / ExpressRoute / Interconnect / FastConnect), DDoS and edge protection, and the egress and inter-region transfer model — per-GB rates, free allowances, and how the provider prices moving data out, which is where multicloud and chatty architectures get expensive
20%
Storage & Data Services
Object/block/file storage with durability and lifecycle tiering, managed relational/NoSQL/in-memory databases, data-lake and warehouse integration, cross-region replication and backup/DR — and how deeply these proprietary services would entangle your applications
15%
Security, Compliance & Sovereignty
Identity and key-management depth, zero-trust networking, certification breadth (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS), and data-residency and sovereign options — EU-operated entities, sovereign regions, national qualifications — plus a clear-eyed view of which jurisdiction’s law can compel access
10%
Management, Operations & FinOps
Console and API quality, Infrastructure-as-Code support (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation/Bicep), observability, and native cost-management, tagging, and commitment-tracking tooling — because operating and governing the spend is a daily cost, not a one-time setup
10%
Ecosystem, Support & Commercial Fit
Partner and marketplace depth, training and talent availability, enterprise support tiers and their real cost, region/availability-zone footprint where you operate, and the commercial terms underneath it all — committed-use discount structure, enterprise agreement leverage, and exit/portability clauses
