Well, it's not exactly for open source activities, at the moment.
We need to move zones where we run our html5/web enterprise collaboration
(think of it as an office365 replacement, but all opensource based, all 
xstreamos based, all web based interface written by us).
We're thinking about releasing an open / free / ready-to-use distro of 
XStreamOS Collaboration, with all this stuff.
Do you think anyone out there may be interested?

Re: [discuss] illumos hosting offerings
My employer Lucera offers illumos hosting but it's pretty pricey as we 
specialize our offerings for the financial market with hosting in NY4, LD4, and 
CH2.  These are the data centers used by traders on Wall Street and in London.  
The systems run recent smartos on higher end boxes with low latency 
connectivity to many financial institutions.
However if the need is in support of illumos open source activities let me 
know.  We can probably arrange to make services available at no charge for 
those cases - do have to confirm that with management and I'd need more details 
of the need to do so.

Thanks, I found CloudSigma, Switzerland, seems a good option.
They opened a trial account for me, but I had problem booting the CD.
First time it worked, but I had no virtio support, so I had to stop and restart 
with HD in ide mode.
No way to run it anymore, in any way, not even starting from scratch in virtio 
mode.
Is there any particular option I must let them know to allow kvm run illumos 
guests?

Hi,
looks like impossible to find a hosting provider to run an illumos distro of my 
own on their virtualization infrastructure.
Everybody wants you to run their windows or linux machines.
I need some virtualized XStreamOS machines running around, but I can't find one 
allowing me to use my own iso install.
Why?
Do you have any durable solution to this (a part from housing your own 
hardware, something we already do...)?
There are a few. 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
