# Akamai Cloud (Linode)

> Bring your Linode / Akamai Cloud spend into CostGraph, pulled by us or pushed by you

Linode is Akamai's self-serve cloud (Akamai Connected Cloud). CostGraph reads its
invoices and maps each line item into FOCUS.

CostGraph reads Akamai Cloud as **FOCUS 1.2** records at a grain of invoice line
item (service x resource).

## Choose how the data reaches us

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="CostGraph pulls it" icon="cloud-arrow-down">
    You supply a read-only token and we call the Linode API once a day. Nothing to run.
  </Card>

  <Card title="You push it" icon="cloud-arrow-up">
    You send us FOCUS records over the API. Credentials never leave your infrastructure.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Let CostGraph pull

1. Open **Settings -> Integrations** and pick **Akamai Cloud (Linode)**.
2. Name the connection and pick the tenant these charges belong to.
3. Fill in the values the form asks for. You supply a **Linode personal access
   token** with the `account:read_only` scope (Cloud Manager -> Profile -> API
   Tokens).
4. Select **Connect**.

CostGraph verifies the credentials with a short fetch before saving, so a wrong
value or a missing permission fails while you are still on the form.

<Note>
  This covers the Linode / Akamai Cloud self-serve bill (the Linode API). Classic
  Akamai delivery (CDN, edge, security) is billed through a separate enterprise
  system and is not included here. Credentials are encrypted at rest and used only
  to read billing data.
</Note>

## Push it yourself

Send the invoice line items to CostGraph as FOCUS instead. [Push FOCUS data](/costgraph/integrations/focus-push) covers the connection id,
the `focus:write` key, and the request shape.

## What CostGraph does with it

Records land as raw billing rows, are normalised into line items, and roll up into
daily cost. From there Akamai Cloud spend appears in Cost Overview and in anomaly
detection alongside every other provider.
