Cloud Infrastructure
Modern, developer-friendly cloud compute and storage — built on Akamai Connected Cloud (Linode).
What you're up against.
Hyperscaler costs are unpredictable
AWS, Azure, and GCP pricing complexity makes bills hard to forecast, audit, or control — especially for compute-intensive or bandwidth-heavy workloads.
Performance suffers when edge and origin are separate
Running infrastructure on a different provider from your security edge creates hairpin routing, added latency, and integration complexity that compounds at scale.
Kubernetes overhead at small scale
Managed Kubernetes on hyperscalers comes with cost, complexity, and vendor lock-in that isn't justified for most workloads — yet the alternative is managing it yourself.
From deployment to continuous operation.
Architect
We design your infrastructure on Akamai Connected Cloud — compute, Kubernetes, object storage, and database services matched to your workload requirements.
Deploy
Full infrastructure-as-code deployment with Terraform, documented and version-controlled so your team owns it from day one.
Integrate
We connect your cloud infrastructure to your Akamai security and delivery stack — same vendor, same control plane, lowest latency between edge and origin.
Operate
Ongoing infrastructure management, cost optimisation reviews, and Kubernetes upgrades handled by our engineers as your platform scales.
What's included.
Dedicated & virtual compute
Flexible instance sizing from shared vCPUs to dedicated CPU and GPU nodes — predictable hourly pricing with no egress surprises.
Managed Kubernetes (LKE)
Akamai Kubernetes Engine with automated upgrades, node pool autoscaling, and native integration with Akamai's global edge network.
Object storage
S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees between Akamai services — ideal for CDN origin, backup, and media assets at scale.
11 global regions
Data centre regions across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and South America — co-located with Akamai's edge PoP network.
Managed databases
Fully managed MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis with automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and high-availability failover.
Private networking & firewalls
VLAN and VPC support for workload isolation, combined with Akamai's DDoS protection and cloud firewall at the infrastructure layer.
Akamai Connected Cloud nodes connect directly to Akamai's global backbone — giving your origin the same network performance your users experience at the edge, without the hyperscaler markup.
