- New Metadata service. You can now utilize cloud-init with this service to automatically configure and install software to compute instances.
- This feature is in Beta. It's currently limited to certain data centers (regions) and distributions. This feature may receive breaking updates in the future.
- Create a Linode (POST /linode/instances). When using this operation, enter your cloud-config data as a base64-encoded string to the new
metadata.user_data
property. - List images (GET /images). Compatible images can be determined by looking for
cloud-init
in the newcapabilities
object. - List regions (GET /regions). Compatible regions can be determined by looking for
Metadata
in thecapabilities
object.
- List regions' availability (GET /regions/availability) and Get a region's availability (GET /regions/{regionId}/availability). You can use these new operations to view the availability of select premium and GPU compute instance types according to region, which are currently in high demand. Akamai may expand this functionality to cover additional compute instance types in the future.
