if I'm traveling for a long distance contract job.In my case I run VMware ESX on the host and hosting shops currently want over
100ドル/guest/month to run each VMware instance. ( not per host ! )I'm not looking to re-host these guests on another platform, I simply want to
run VMware guests at a reasonable price if I have to travel, and want some 'hands' available for emergencies.Yes, if I re-hosted the guests onto Ubuntu Cloud, (Eucalyptus) I would also have to move the Hypervisor from ESX to Xen/KVM. Then I guess I could run instances locally, or push them up to Amazon, but that is too much work at this time.
However as I recall, hosting Ubuntu Cloud requires a lot of hardware, cloud controller, storage controller, etc. Lee On 12/08/2010 07:06 PM, Douglas Muth wrote:

I might have need to colo 1U to 3U of servers that are currently on a 256Kb DSL uplink. 3 IP'sThis might sound like a silly question, but with the popularity of VPSes (Linode, Slicehost, etc.) and other services like Amazon's EC2, why do people still colo? I say this as someone who has had to make use of "remote hands", failed hardware, flaky hardware, and such with co-loed equipment in the past, and that's never fun. VPSes (and could computing, I guess) eliminate a lot of those hassles, and tend to be most cost efficient (you pay only for what you use).
