Secure Your Data with Automated Local Compute Disk & Block Storage Volume Encryption

In the previous parts of this series, we’ve explored the exciting new ways Large Language Models (LLMs) can integrate with APIs and act as intelligent agents. We’ve seen how LLMs and prompts interact, and we’ve seen how to move from basic tool descriptions to crafting complex prompt-based rulebooks to guide them. But as with any […]

One year ago Akamai rolled out warm migrations to the Linode platform for both data center and host migrations, and resizing operations. During a traditional cold migration, the target Linode is shut down, its data copied to a new host, and the new Linode booted. A warm migration differs from a traditional cold migration in […]

We are excited to announce that Akamai Cloud Pulse is now entering Open Beta for all Akamai Managed Database customers. Following successful closed beta testing, we are ready to provide you with real-time insights into your database performance and resource utilization. Why Observability Matters In today’s application-driven world, cloud infrastructure is the backbone of every […]

Linode Kubernetes Engine Enterprise (LKE Enterprise) launched in Limited Availability on June 5th, and with this launch, we wanted to highlight three ways you can create your first Enterprise cluster. This blog includes brief instructions for using Cloud Manager, the Linode CLI, and Terraform. If you don’t have access to LKE Enterprise already, you can […]

In our journey of integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) with traditional APIs, we’ve seen how prompts become the new “API docs,” describing what a tool can do. It all sounds wonderfully simple at first. You give the LLM access to some tools, describe them, and voilà, you have an intelligent agent! But as many of […]

LLMs interact differently. Instead of just checking data against a schema, an LLM reads a description in plain language about what a tool or another system can do. As a developer, I have to expose the information that a calling LLM can read, consume, and ultimately use to understand how to operate my interface. You […]

As of June 12, 2025, the active version of the Linode Terraform Provider is v3.0.0. This is an upgrade from version 2 of the provider, with version 3 supporting future product and feature releases on the Akamai Cloud platform. The current version of the provider can be viewed on the Terraform Registry Linode page. Changes […]

Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. However, Kubernetes platform engineering initiatives aren’t always a guarantee for success. Plus, there’s a good chance of exceeding the initial budgets. Why? Because building Kubernetes-based platforms is not an easy task!  Platform engineering involves a wide range of tools and technologies that can be overwhelming and time-consuming to […]

Getting different software systems to talk to each other is a classic challenge for developers. For years, we used APIs with well-defined rules to make this happen. But now, large language models (LLMs) are changing the game, offering a new way for systems to interact based on understanding language, not just strict formats. This opens […]

Modern enterprise applications require a robust, scalable, and secure networking infrastructure. The rise of microservices architectures, global user bases, and data-intensive workloads has fundamentally changed what organizations need from their Kubernetes networking layer. Many enterprises running Kubernetes in production cite networking as a challenge, with connection limitations frequently reported as a barrier to scaling applications. […]

During KubeCon in Salt Lake City 2024, we announced the availability of Akamai App Platform in public Beta. Since then, we’ve focused on reducing operational overhead for platform teams while continuing to deliver on our promise: enabling developers with a structured yet flexible environment to efficiently build, deploy, and manage containerized applications.  Beta users may […]

Managed database services (DBaaS) provide a powerful and scalable approach to deploying and managing databases without the overhead of manual maintenance. However, fine-tuning advanced parameters can enhance performance, security, and reliability.  In this blog, we’ll take a look at the Akamai Managed Database Services powered by Aiven. Our solution offers developers the ability to customize […]
