Akamai Linode

Mount a Linode (Akamai) Object Storage bucket as a Windows drive.

Before you begin

You need an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key pair and your cluster's endpoint (https://<region>.linodeobjects.com).

Where to get the keys — in Cloud Manager → Object Storage → Access Keys: click Create Access Key, name it, optionally limit it to specific buckets, and copy both values — the secret is shown only once.

Connect

1. Click Add in the toolbar.
2. Choose Enterprise → Akamai Linode.
3. Enter the endpoint, Access Key ID, and Secret Access Key, then click the Refresh button next to the bucket field.
4. Select the bucket and click Connect.

Manual bucket entry

If your key is not allowed to list buckets, tick the checkbox to the left of the bucket field and type the bucket name directly.

Settings

Setting	Description	Default
Endpoint	https://<region>.linodeobjects.com	—
Access Key ID / Secret Access Key	Object Storage credentials	—
Bucket	The bucket to mount (list or manual entry)	—
Read-only	Blocks writes to the mounted drive	off

Behavior & limits

• RaiDrive checks that the endpoint hostname ends with linodeobjects.com; other URLs are rejected as "invalid endpoint".
• S3 semantics: renaming a large folder tree copies and deletes every object under the prefix.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
"invalid endpoint"	URL is not a Linode Object Storage endpoint	Use the region endpoint from Cloud Manager
Bucket list empty	Key limited, or wrong region endpoint	Use the endpoint of the region that holds the bucket
