- mrinterweb 16y agoPerformance and value.

AWS is a cloud product, with pros and cons -- instances can die at any time and data (RAM and disk) won't persist, network is slightly strange with their NAT IPs but in return you get a setup that lets you connect with big storage (S3), potentially large clusters (the new GPU core product) etc. Linode is a VPS which is just presenting you with an abstracted server. If the instance or the hypervisor gets bounced anything on disk is preserved. Networking is normal (standard IP address) and everything runs as if it is a bare metal server (more true for XEN based VPS's like Linode rather than SolusVM)
