# Linode

Connect Akamai Cloud, formerly Linode, to use Blossom BYOC (bring your own
cloud), with workloads billed to your provider account.

## Connect

1. Create or select an Akamai Cloud account.
2. Generate a Personal Access Token with the access Blossom requests.
3. In Blossom, open **Cloud Providers**, choose **Linode**, and save the token.
4. Run the connection check, then select a supported region when you create an
   Environment.

Keep the account active, its payment method current, and enough quota available
for approved Capacity. After the connection is healthy, deploy, scale, observe,
and recover Apps through the ordinary Blossom workflow.

You can also [connect the provider with the Blossom CLI](/docs/locations/cloud-providers/create-from-cli/).
