Linodes (Compute Instances)
Quake AI concept: Instances
- Provisioned via the Linode API v4 (/v4/linode/instances) instead of OpenStack Nova /v2.1/servers; auth is a Personal Access Token rather than a Keystone token.
- Plan selection is fixed (Shared, Dedicated, High Memory, Premium, GPU, Accelerated) with predefined vCPU/RAM/storage; OpenStack flavors can be cloud-defined.
- Billing is hourly with a monthly cap per plan; powered-off Linodes continue to bill until deleted, unlike pause/suspend semantics common in OpenStack stop-billing setups.
- Distribution images and StackScripts are first-class; OpenStack uses Glance images and arbitrary userdata.
