Linode Managed beta

Here are few screenshots of how great the new Linode Managed dashboard looks. Enjoy!

What's going to be the cost going forward? I might be interested, but I'd only want to set this up if I knew there's a chance I'll continue this after the 3 free months, and that depends heavily on the price.

According to word from IRC, it's $100 / Linode / month.

I'd be interested to know what Linode could actually support. There are a very large number of mail stacks, web stacks, and other software that customers could be using. Custom glue code is a nightmare to support.

At $100 USD a month this could be a good option for small companies that don't have full time IT staff.

Just wanted to let you guys know that we've published a guide on Linode Managed in the Linode Library that may give you a better idea of what the service is like:

Hi everyone,

For right now, we will not be accepting additional applicants into the Linode Managed beta. The response has been amazing so far - thank you!

@caker:

• Application tuning and architecture advice

  …

  Are there any requirements to participate in the beta?

  Yes! There are a few criteria needed so that we can be sure to fully test the service: You must have multiple Linodes.
  Darn. Smaller customers just can't get a break.

  I'm still curious what "Application tuning and architecture advice" constitutes if/when it becomes more widely available. For example, will someone offer performance optimization advice, or will advice only be given if something's behaving so poorly that it's consuming all of a system's resources?

We'll offer application tuning and architecture advice for both of the scenarios you've described. If you just want the Linode Managed team to log in an do an audit of your existing services, we can do that - likewise, if you're hitting a specific bottleneck, we're happy to offer advice on how to resolve it for you.

Will the backups be like the regular ones? Are you planning / looking into a system such as R1soft / Idera? (http://r1soft.idera.com/)

The Linode Backup Service (https://www.linode.com/backups/) is included with Linode Managed - it is not a different offering only for Managed customers.

Where can I find more info on Linode managed hosting? I'm clueless when it comes to hosting and stuff so a manager looking after it all would be great.
