Who offers the best overall cloud block storage performance and value per dollar?

We’re working on making NVMe Block Storage available across the fleet by year-end. To help you evaluate NVMe on storage Volumes and databases, we partnered with independent benchmarking firm, Cloud Spectator, on our latest benchmark report. Find out how our NVMe Block Storage performs against AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, GCP, and Vultr. Get the free report here. We also expanded free and open source security applications to the Linode Marketplace and introduced support for PayPal as a default payment method.
