I hear ya Howard! Not that this is a shameless plug or anything, but my new gig (as in 2nd job at the moment) is www.peerascope.com, and we are doing it all in the cloud. However, we just simply signed on with Rackspace & are using Linux servers. I did check into Openstack, but it seemed to be a bit of overkill for us at the moment. Perhaps in the hopefully very near future we'll have to explore this option quite a bit further!
I would definitely be down for an Openstack presentation, and will likely be there in August for Tilghman's Nagios talk since we are using Groundwork at the office. I'm needing all the help I can get at the moment! -- Jim Peterson Director of Information Technology Peerascope.com View the world, your way!
