hey guys
Raphael had asked if anyone has tried 11.10 as a friend of his had asked
about it. As well William had brought up orchestra for provisioning of
virtual machines in the cloud.
I am actually testing this as we speak as I am thinking since im the
linux server admin for a friends dedicated server and with xen on its
own it is rather limited in os's and much harder to work with.
Current I am testing orchestra as an alternative to xen. It supports all
sorts of distros and it doesnt seem to hard to add any other distros
since it is geared towards supporting ubuntu releases. What has suprised
me as well is seeing that it supports windows based virtual machines as
well.
Virtualization backends from what I have seen that is supported are as
follows:
xen paravirtualized guests
qemu
and vmware.
There are also 3 ways to work with the vm's:
web based interface
xmlrpc
CLI
I will give you guys an update as my testing progresses :D would be
interesting to get the mirror server setup with this which would make
backups of the mailing list and site much easier and easier to allocate
resources to.
