Cloud Functions on Akamai (Linode): what it becomes and what it costs.
On Akamai (Linode), Cloud Functions becomes containers on Linode Kubernetes Engine, or long-running services on Akamai Linode compute instances. Handlers port to containers; GCP event triggers need re-wiring.
Effort grade
Moderate
Same software, self-hosted: you patch, back up and fix it
Cost after the move, before engineer time
35% of today
$0.0000025 per GB-second is about $6.5 per always-on GB plus invocations; a CX33 replaces a typical fleet, 35% with the one-server floor.
Engineer time
6 h a month
To run the replacement: patching, backups, on-call. Plus about 5 engineer days for the move itself.
Other ways to replace it
The report lets you pick any of these per service; the figure and the grade follow.
Knative or OpenFaaS on Linode Kubernetes Engine (LKE)
Keeps the function shape and scale-to-zero on your own cluster; GCP event triggers are still re-wired.

Cloudflare Workers
Stays serverless at a flat, cheap price; handlers are rewritten for the Workers runtime and GCP triggers are replaced by HTTP and queues.
