How is Linode “much cheaper than OVH”? Their margins are probably way higher.
Linode's origin is as a VPS provider. OVH's is as a dedicated server provider. OVH's top server is twice the cost of Linode's and their cheapest is 5x the price (10 vs ~50).
OVH's cheapest VPS is just over $3 per month.

Do you publish metrics on “attacks prevented” (or access to logging and monitoring) for customers?
Yes. For HTTP customers there are full SIEM logs under Firewall > Overview on our dashboard, and for paid tiers there are drill-down analytics in addition to the full SIEM logs. There is also log push to receive near real-time full HTTP logs into Google or AWS for your own analysis and these show if a firewall feature touched the request or if it was served from cache. In addition for HTTP customers we show graphs of…
Will help add perspective to how disruptive the attacks are.
Serious question: why would I want to use Linode over GCP or AWS? Asking as someone who hasn’t really dabbled with smaller cloud providers. Is it cost? Support? Developer tooling?
I personally would say simplicity and up-front pricing. I don't need to make a spreadsheet to figure out what I'm going to pay to host a simple web site or project.
Nice. Apart from the security incident that took place long time ago, are there any reason why everyone is going straight to DO instead of Linode? For a long time Linode has had better features, performance and bandwidth. It wasn't until recently DO had Managed DB and many other additions. Linode's High Memory Plan also has much better Memory : CPU Ratio. Still waiting for their CDN, ( Not sure why they are not expos…

I think it'd be helpful to highlight the impact on YOUR infrastructure for an attack i am facing. Will help add perspective to how disruptive the attacks are.

Yes, also perhaps some guidance figures on what the impact would have been had these measures not been in place.
What we can tell you is the frequency, size and nature of attacks that Cloudflare sees, and when we can clearly identify that an attack was unambiguously targetting you specifically then we can tell only you about that too.
If there were a global dashboard which was vague about the target and source, merely the frequency, size and nature... would that be valuable?

I wouldn’t recommend the cheapest Kimsufi offerings though, something like the SYS-WS-1 goes for $33 and is easily comparable with Linode offerings priced at multiple times that.
OVH has a VPS product that’s far cheaper than what Linode offers, but I can’t speak to the quality of that offering.

Comparison with dedicated servers is comparing apples to oranges, but except that line your comment has a pretty strong point.
Stuff like Terraform works just fine with OVH dedicated servers, so that can’t be the problem either.
