Yes, according tohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linode

The linode.com web site is now branded "Akamai"

Thanks Dianne.

The promo codes have been offered under the Linode brand as recently as the last LNL podcast episode (also on the Linux After Dark, Linux Downtime, and Self Hosted podcasts), so that seems to be continuing.


Another couple of surprises:

That it happened so long ago and I didn't hear about it, and that it sold for "only" $900,000,000.
