Token-Authenticated API Access
Store a secure access token in service settings so every outbound platform call carries authorised credentials without exposing secrets in workflow copy.
Linode Compute Integration | Streamcake Live Streaming
Linode compute in Streamcake: provision VMs, run remote commands, monitor utilisation, and tear down instances when streams end — Akamai Cloud infrastructure.
Streamcake integrates with the Linode platform API to manage virtual machine lifecycles for streaming and media workloads. Operators authenticate with a secure token stored in service settings, then workflow steps provision instances, poll until guests are ready, update labels and tags, resize plans, boot and shut down hosts, clone disks to new machines, rebuild from fresh images, and remove resources when jobs complete. Remote automation runs packaged shell steps with output streamed into workflow event logs, while background health collection compares processor, memory, disk, and optional accelerator utilisation against configurable warning and error bands.Feature
Idempotent Instance Provisioning
Create new virtual machines or resume polling on existing identifiers until the guest reports a ready offline state suitable for the next workflow gate.
Live Instance State Inspection
Retrieve labels, regions, tags, lifecycle status, and addressing context before branching encode, relay, or configuration steps in the same automation.
Configuration Updates
Apply label, tag, watchdog, backup, and boot preference changes through a single consolidated update path with clear failure surfacing when the platform rejects a change.
Capacity Resize and Tier Upgrades
Move workloads to larger or smaller plans with cold or warm migration modes, or step up one product tier when operators prefer guided upgrades over explicit target slugs.
Boot, Shutdown, and Reboot Orchestration
Drive ordered power transitions with polling-friendly completion signals so downstream steps only run once guests reach running or offline states as required.
Instance Cloning
Duplicate an existing guest into a new machine with selectable disks, configuration profiles, region, and plan so staging mirrors production without manual rebuilds.
Image-Driven Rebuild
Replace disk contents from a chosen distribution image with optional first-boot automation hooks — destructive paths are clearly surfaced before operators confirm.
Remote Commands With Log Streaming
Execute shell automation on running guests while output lines append to workflow event logs for operations visibility during long-running installs or validations.
Multi-Signal Health Monitoring
Background collection compares processor, memory, disk, and optional accelerator utilisation against separate warning and error bands for dashboard-ready monitor entries.
Delete and Stream Teardown
Permanently remove instances by identifier or clear them when streams cancel so transient compute does not linger once programmes conclude or are abandoned.
