two have personally thanked me for offering openbsd RandalSchwartz: there aren't as many openbsd VPS
since openbsd refuses to cooperate with LVM
or whatever that other virt system is up_the_irons: Xen
VMware
some others RandalSchwartz: yeah up_the_irons: it's odd that EC2 supports OpenSolaris before FreeBSD
but that's just enterprise for ya RandalSchwartz: sun insisted on that
sun did the work up_the_irons: ah RandalSchwartz: and oracle just killed opensolaris
or is about to
the irony :) 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 RandalSchwartz: the tricky part is ensuring that you include their monitoring kernel up_the_irons: yeah, too bad about opensolaris death 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
so a stock Xen image won't do, even mechanically converted
now, oddly enough, there are open-source "host an EC2 AMI" solutions already
so you can run your own version of EC2 at home up_the_irons: brb RandalSchwartz: ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_(computing) mhoran: up_the_irons: Have you been following the threads re: FreeBSD on EC2?
I got myself on some mailing list a year or so ago and now they're looking for funding.
But apparently they're having some difficulty getting it to work. ***: boogeyman has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
