The lower end tier gets some more disk space, it is only the higher end gets CPU and Memory upgrade. Now the Dollar / Memory is the same across low and high end Standard Plan. I have always wondered why it wasn't the case in all previous years. Shouldn't the higher spec / memory / CPU, the cheaper it is per CPU / Memory ?<p>The other news not mentioned in the post is the switch to AMD EPYC CPU. I guess that is what offers much more memory and CPU core per "slices".<p>It is also interesting that DO decided their Non Standard Plan are CPU focus, while Linode is Memory Capacity focused.<p>I am not sure if Linode has improved their security, which damaged its image quite a bit. And if they have finally shipped their new Control Panel. UX was one reason why many went with DO.<p>Otherwise, Linode is still faster in CPU, Memory Speed, Disk I/O, Network Capacity, Network Speed, Latency. I don't know if all these are still true with new EPYC Sever. But sometimes I don't understand why Linode is not getting the similar attention as DO.<p>And similarly, I don't understand why everyone everything has to be on AWS. And why DO / Linode type of Cloud Services haven't moved up the ladder.
