[16:19] <up_the_irons> there's been an increase in openbsd orders lately, i wonder why...
[16:19] <up_the_irons> two have personally thanked me for offering openbsd
[16:20] <RandalSchwartz> there aren't as many openbsd VPS
[16:20] <RandalSchwartz> since openbsd refuses to cooperate with LVM
[16:21] <RandalSchwartz> or whatever that other virt system is
[16:21] <up_the_irons> Xen
[16:21] <up_the_irons> VMware
[16:21] <up_the_irons> some others
[16:21] <RandalSchwartz> yeah
[16:22] <up_the_irons> it's odd that EC2 supports OpenSolaris before FreeBSD
[16:22] <up_the_irons> but that's just enterprise for ya
[16:22] <RandalSchwartz> sun insisted on that
[16:22] <RandalSchwartz> sun did the work
[16:22] <up_the_irons> ah
[16:22] <RandalSchwartz> and oracle just killed opensolaris
[16:22] <RandalSchwartz> or is about to
[16:22] <RandalSchwartz> the irony :)
[16:22] <up_the_irons> i wonder what kind of work is needed on the part of the OS to work in that type of environment.  i wonder if freebsd will ever get it
[16:23] <RandalSchwartz> the tricky part is ensuring that you include their monitoring kernel
[16:23] <up_the_irons> yeah, too bad about opensolaris death
[16:24] <RandalSchwartz> I don't know exactly the details, but there's a bit of ensuring that your kernel responds to some "events" to allow EC2 to monitor your health
[16:24] <RandalSchwartz> so a stock Xen image won't do, even mechanically converted
[16:24] <RandalSchwartz> now, oddly enough, there are open-source "host an EC2 AMI" solutions already
[16:25] <RandalSchwartz> so you can run your own version of EC2 at home
[16:25] <up_the_irons> brb
[16:28] <RandalSchwartz> ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_(computing)
[16:31] <mhoran> up_the_irons: Have you been following the threads re: FreeBSD on EC2?
[16:31] <mhoran> I got myself on some mailing list a year or so ago and now they're looking for funding.
[16:32] <mhoran> But apparently they're having some difficulty getting it to work.
