        Anyone plan on jumping ship? We only have one site there now and that one might be brought back in house as 95% of the users are internal.

        Previous IT director didn't want anything in-house.

          Is there a reason to not like Akamai? Why leave other than reasons you already mentioned.

            You can't migrate between Akamai resellers without downtime. That's why we're no longer using Akamai.

              I was just curious. I don't see a reason other than what I said but with all things when a company gets bought out or migrates with another company there are always those that jump ship.

                I recently deployed a couple of VMs on Linode. I don't see any reason to abandon them right now.

                  How often are you migrating resellers?

                    We were on them but moved to Vultr to consolidate with other workloads a year or two ago. Linode was the host of MangoLassi for many years and was really good. Akamai is really good and this seems like a good marriage. If anything, wouldn't this make you want to stay on it more?

                      @jaredbusch one important migration is all it takes. The only way to have done it without downtime would have been to go from Akamai to another CDN then back to Akamai. We opted not to do the back to Akamai part.
