    description: The Linode Python SDK (linode_api4) is the official Python client library for interacting
      with the Linode API v4. It provides a Pythonic interface for managing all Akamai Connected Cloud
      resources including compute instances, domains, NodeBalancers, volumes, Kubernetes clusters, and
      account settings. The SDK supports both synchronous operations and includes helper methods for common
      workflows like deploying instances from StackScripts, managing SSH keys, and configuring networking
      resources.

    description: The Linode Go SDK (linodego) is the official Go client library for the Linode API v4.
      It provides idiomatic Go interfaces for managing Akamai Connected Cloud infrastructure programmatically,
      including compute instances, Kubernetes clusters, networking configurations, storage volumes, and
      DNS domains. The library is used internally by the Linode Terraform Provider and Linode CLI, and
      supports context-based request cancellation, pagination helpers, and retry logic for robust API
      interactions.
