I've run both OmniOS and Tribblix on Bytemark https://www.bytemark.co.uk/ Specifically the page https://www.bytemark.co.uk/hosting/bigv/ and their support is really good too. (They love people who run "unusual" things. When running Tribblix I found a bug in their DHCP implementation and they just got straight back to me and fixed it, and were delighted I had found it.) There are a number of other companies set up the same way, exposing raw qemu/KVM, which I've heard good things about but haven't tried personally. Eg. Vultr https://www.vultr.com/features/ If you could create an XStreamOS dataset for SmartOS, then you could use presumably Joyent or another SDC provider such as vrocket.io -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
