Linode’s 13th Anniversary Free Upgrade to Double Memory and Manual Memory Upgrade Method Record

Linode will have at least one major change event every year. For example, in the past few years/several times, we can see a series of changes such as free memory upgrades, SSD hard drives, and price adjustments, making the originally legendary tall, rich and handsome VPS has also become very popular nowadays. This year is the 13th anniversary of Linode VPS hosting provider. At any rate, there should be some changes and upgrades. Snail was originally going to release a second Japanese computer room, but it has not been released yet. According to the official statement, it will release a second Japanese computer room at the end of the year. I hope you don't let the pigeons go.

This time the official has adjusted the configuration of all Linode VPS hosting plans again. The hard disk, traffic, core, and bandwidth remain unchanged, and all memory can be upgraded to double for free. For example, the original minimum configuration was 1GB of memory, but now we can upgrade it to 2GB for free. The original 2GB memory solution can now be upgraded to 4GB for free. Snail here happens to have a machine with Linode 2GB solution, so we just want to upgrade it together and see how it works.

First, upgrade preparations

This memory upgrade strategy is only for the KVM architecture configuration solution. If we have not upgraded the original XEN architecture solution to KVM, it cannot be upgraded (Xen upgrade KVM architecture method is attached). At the same time, in order to ensure the security of the data, Snail (laozuo.org) personally recommends that we back up the website data first, so that we can still save it in case of problems.

Second, log in to the Linode button that currently needs to be upgraded

After we log in to the Linode VPS host that currently needs to be upgraded, we can see the above prompt to upgrade. Click the \\"Click here for more information!\\" text link.

Here we can see the direct upgrade button. Based on our current memory configuration, the Snail machine can be upgraded to 4GB.

Third, choose automatic or immediate upgrade

We can arrange to wait for automatic upgrade according to the system prompts, or we can upgrade immediately. I definitely don’t want to wait for him here, I just click to upgrade immediately.

Then we can see the progress of the upgrade in the panel. Here we just have to wait.

Fourth, Linode upgrade memory completion check

After the upgrade is completed, we do not need to restart the machine automatically, and then log in to SSH to see if it has been upgraded to 4GB memory. At the same time, we need to check whether our WEB environment and website/project environment are normal.
