How to use Akamai instead of Linodes?

Your Kubernetes Essential course relies on using Linodes. Linodes has been sold to Akamai.

How should I proceed?

Hi @Michael_B_Hildebrand. Linode is a cloud provider just like many other cloud providers as mentioned in the Kubernetes in the Cloud with Linode Kubernetes Engine lesson. Akamai’s takeover of Linode shouldn’t affect the course much as they continue to provide their services. Linode is still accessible and operational. All of the services,technologies anologies would remain the same, and all of the codes should work fine. You can also create a cluster using any other cloud provider and everything should work fine and as intended without any hassle. Thank you!
