manager

> I see a few people^W^Weveryone here talking about security. If you didn't read the whole blog post, you might not have noticed the new Linode manager that we're working on being mentioned. Check it out, it's open source: https://github.com/Linode/manager Open sourcing the UI while keeping the actual portion that manipulates the data + handles authentication ( the API ) doesn't have substantial security benefits since its largely available to the end user already. While I am sure you are correct that the rewrite in Python is easier to reason about and more secure, I feel the way you've presented it might imply it is secure because the source is available which is not the case.

[Disclaimer: Linode dev here] I see a few people^W^Weveryone here talking about security. If you didn't read the whole blog post, you might not have noticed the new Linode manager that we're working on being mentioned. Check it out, it's open source: https://github.com/Linode/manager If you haven't been present in other discussions about Linode security, one of the major factors (in my opinion) is the current manager. It's a large and old ColdFusion codebase, and it's hard to maintain. The new manager is backed by the new Python API and the whole system is significantly easier to reason about with respect to security. I think that the new manager should help ease some concerns, and it's going to be pretty great in other respects too. Hit me up with any questions you have, I'll do my best. In other news, I run a bunch of Linodes myself and
