Free upgrade of Linode double memory and manual upgrade of memory

Linode has at least one major change every year. For example, we can see changes in the series of free memory upgrade, SSD hard drive, and price adjustment in the past few years, the legendary Gao fushuai VPS has become popular now. This year marks the 13th anniversary of Linode VPS host service providers. Some changes and upgrades should also be made. The second Japanese data center was originally released on the left, but it has not been released yet, according to the official statement, the second Japanese data center will be released at the end of the year, hoping not to show up.

This time, the official configuration of all Linode VPS host solutions will be adjusted again. The hard disk, traffic, kernel, and bandwidth will remain unchanged. All the memory can be upgraded twice for free. For example, if the original minimum configuration is 1 GB, we can upgrade it to 2 GB for free. It turns out to be a 2 GB memory solution. Now we can upgrade it to 4 GB for free. Here, there is also a Linode 2 GB machine on the left hand side. We just need to upgrade it together to see how it works.

1. Upgrade preparation

This memory upgrade policy only applies to the KVM architecture configuration scheme. If we have not upgraded the original XEN architecture scheme to KVM, it cannot be upgraded (with Xen architecture upgrade method ). At the same time, to ensure data security, laozuo.org suggests that we back up website data first. In case of problems, we still have room to save.

2. Log on to the Linode button to be upgraded

After logging on to the Linode VPS host to be upgraded, we can see the above prompt to upgrade. Click "Click here for more information! "Text link.

Here we can see the upgrade button, according to our current memory configuration, and then the old Left machine can be upgraded to 4 GB.

Third, select automatic or upgrade now

We can schedule automatic upgrade as prompted by the system, or we can upgrade immediately. I'm sure I don't want to wait for him here. Click upgrade now.

Then we can see the progress of the upgrade in the panel. Here we only need to wait.

4. Check that the Linode memory has been upgraded

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