Easily Deploy Custom Images Across Multiple Machines
Linode Custom Images offer a seamless solution to create, store, and deploy custom images across Linodes or data centers. With this feature, users can easily manage and replicate custom configurations, saving time and effort when setting up new instances. By uploading a compressed .gz image file of up to 5GB using the Cloud Manager or API, users can deploy the image to any Linode size and data center they require. This functionality bridges the gap between your local machine and the cloud, streamlining the deployment process.
Long-Term Image Storage and Snapshot Capabilities
One of the key benefits of Linode Custom Images is the long-term storage feature, even when there are no active Linodes in your account. Users can store up to 25 images per account at a cost of $0.10 per month per GB of storage. This ensures that your custom configurations and critical images are always accessible whenever needed. Additionally, the ability to capture a golden image from an existing Linode and instantly deploy identical copies to any other Linode on your account helps reduce deployment time, making it an efficient solution for scaling your operations.
Efficient Management with Drag and Drop Uploads and Multi-Data Center Deployment
The drag and drop upload feature in Cloud Manager simplifies the process of applying custom images to new or existing workloads. This intuitive method allows users to seamlessly integrate their custom configurations without the need for complex setup procedures. Moreover, the ability to deploy custom images across different data centers enables users to bootstrap worker instances in multiple regions efficiently. Whether you are expanding your infrastructure or ensuring redundancy across geographic locations, custom images provide a flexible and scalable solution for managing your deployments.
Predictable Pricing and Additional Options
With a simple and predictable pricing structure, Linode Custom Images offer monthly storage at $0.10 per GB, with a maximum capacity of 150GB per account. Users can also store up to 25 images per account, ensuring ample space for their configurations. For additional storage needs, the pricing is based on the uncompressed image size, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness based on usage. This transparent pricing model makes it easy for users to estimate costs and manage their image storage requirements efficiently.
