No lock-in - easy to take your images and use them elsewhere.
- ridruejo 15y agoYou can also take your AWS images and run them on Eucalyptus. Amazon also has some initial support for exporting to VMWare. In any case, there will always be a certain degree of lock-in, but it should not be at the image level. You can always use something like http://bitnami.org http://bitnami.org (disclaimer, I am the author :) that allows you to share the same environment locally, as a VM or as an AMI
- oldpatricka 15y agoIn what sense is there less lock in with Brightbox than with EC2? I've run EC2 images on other IaaS clouds, and it's easy to pull an image out with ec2-download-bundle.
- rahoulb 15y agoOh. When I tried (admittedly a while ago) I couldn't get it working elsewhere and found a few others who had the same problem.
