Linode

Linode (Akamai) instances and firewalls in your security conversation.

TRY ASKING:

“Which Linode instances have no cloud firewall attached?”

  • “List Linode firewall rules that allow inbound traffic from any source.”
  • “Inventory instances and volumes by region and tag.”
  • “Which public-facing instances expose a database port?”

Kikimora reads your Linode (Akamai) account so compute, networking, and firewall posture join the rest of your stack. Ask about exposure the same way you ask about AWS.

Audit Linode security from one conversation

The integration covers your Linode estate where it matters for security: the instance and volume inventory, cloud firewall rules, and the network exposure that decides what the internet can reach. Instead of clicking through the Cloud Manager region by region, you ask one question and the agent reports across the whole account, then folds the answer into the same posture view as your other providers. The instance with no firewall attached is the one that bites you, and on a busy account it is easy to spin up and forget. Because Linode firewalls are opt-in rather than on by default, a quick conversational sweep for unprotected instances is one of the highest-value questions you can ask, and it takes a single sentence here rather than a manual pass through every region.

What you can do

  • Inventory instances, volumes, and networking across regions.
  • Audit cloud firewall rules and catch unprotected instances.
  • Fold Linode findings into cross-cloud posture reports.

Things you might ask

  • “Which Linode instances have a public IP but no cloud firewall attached?”
  • “Show every firewall rule that allows inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 and what it protects.”
  • “List instances that expose SSH or a database port to the internet.”

Linode is one provider in a multi-cloud picture. It sits naturally next to Hetzner for European compute, and the AWS integration brings your hyperscaler footprint into the same chat, so a single exposure question spans every cloud you have connected.

[ faq ]

What access does the Linode integration need? +

A Linode (Akamai) API token with read scope over the account. That covers instance and volume inventory, firewall rules, and networking. Read-only is the default.

Does it only read, or can it change firewalls? +

It reads by default. When a firewall rule should change, the agent proposes the exact change and applies it only after you approve it.

How quickly can I connect Linode? +

A few minutes. Create a personal access token in the Linode Cloud Manager and paste it in. Nothing is installed on your instances.

Can it report alongside my other clouds? +

Yes. Linode findings fold into the same cross-cloud posture reports as your other connected providers, so exposure questions answer across all of them.
