Internally maybe, but AWS external connectivity is so shakey I wonder if it's intentional. From a cisco ASA firewall to AWS vpg - there is weekly and even daily issues with things either plain timing out or experiencing latency spiking on AWS side. Cisco is not a small vendor or use case for creating a vpn bridge. We moved from this to cloudconnect - essentially a network connection directly to aws. Same instability issues only they moved to weekly/monthly instead of daily/weekly. This was from a provider that had fiber to AWS. I will also say that when putting particular load on AWS's internal services from a single ec2 instance you can often see requests that fail (s3 being the one I see the most). I can't speak on the merits or lack thereof on Linode, but I will say vultr and DO have - by comparision to AWS - leagues better public wan stability. I've had ssh sessions open for months on both and that includes to some POPs in europe. I'm comparing AWS which is <20ms away to something overseas... for reference that's about 20 additional hops and trans-atlantic fiber in between.
