Turnkey Installs on CloudatCost

If you have a beefy enough server, you could run hypervisor.
-
Ya I'm more so trying to stay in the realm of multiple low servers doing specific jobs instead of the beefier ones.
Add slowly.
Edit:
Especially since the harddrive space is so low. -
@Sparkum I would think the fat dog servers would help fix that issue. They are not priced yet, but it would be interesting to see where they are priced.
-
I'm gonna guess thats pricey but ya, that would definately allow it I would assume.
-
Hmm interesting thanks.
I wish they had a simple "Custom ISO" which allowed for upload, would be so sweet.
-
They seem to be considering it. But so far, not available. That adds quite some complication, but it can be done.
-
That would be a pretty nice new feature. Lots of new OS options and appliance products could be used then.
-
Ya even deploying stuff like Sophos UTM, monitoring services, 1 click deployments, so many options would make C@C seem so desirable to everyone and anyone (well more so)
-
The One Click Installs at Digital Ocean are pretty cool. They are the only vendor that I know that does that but it really sets them apart for small shops that don't want to take time to built out their own web server from scratch, database server, ELK logging server or whatever. We used them to get ELK up and running quickly, for example.

That's part of the reason they don't do it. They don't want just anything in there. Like a Router, DNS, DHCP. It opens them up for a lot more load on the servers and less predicable. as well as more vulnerabilities.

Hmmmm....

@thecreativeone91
Ya that definately makes sense.
Even just some sort of approve/disapprove program on there side.
I would be more than fine waiting for something like that to be approved by a human on their end.
-
Hmm, very interesting.
Looking into this right now. Thank you. -
Hmm, I'm confused where the images come from.
lxd-images import lxc ubuntu trusty amd64 --alias ubuntu
lxd-images import lxc debian wheezy amd64 --alias debianWould this allow for ISO installs?
For example from https://github.com/turnkeylinux-apps/openvpn
-
Containers have been standard for over a decade. Can't figure out why suddenly everyone cares. Great technology but this is OLD stuff.
-
@Sparkum said:

Not normally, no. These are coming from a container image repo.
-
Ah, so probably cant install what I want on top then,
Just add additional bare linux servers (which is still actually pretty cool to utilize resources)
-
If the ISO has all the RPM's need is the only case where it works. Most distro ISO's don't work like that. Though some do.
