Linode (Akamai)
a proper one-click with real authentication — and an explicit statement that nobody will patch it afterwards.
the deployment is well built — two layers of auth and an option to disable root ssh — but akamai's refusal to own updates is a real cost on software whose worst incident came from unpatched instances.
the quick deploy app is thorough where it counts: access needs both a dashboard token and nginx basic-auth credentials, stored on the box for you, and the installer offers to disable root ssh login while always creating a limited sudo user. it deploys the gateway alongside the agent.
then akamai says the quiet part out loud — it does not manage software or security updates for quick deploy apps after installation. that is honest, and it is also precisely the gap that put tens of thousands of openclaw instances on the public internet in february. an unattended install here ages badly.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
