CTL-C: Re-imagined IaaS with Docker Containers
- nodesocket 13y agoTotally nit-picking here, but not a fan of the name and especially domain name `ctl-c`. Where are containers physically hosted on (Amazon)? How do you allocate resources to containers? I assume that containers can talk to other containers even though they may reside on different VMs.
- cardmagic 13y agoYou will be able to pick where to host your containers and they can talk to each other even if they are on different VMs, there will be an API with SDKs that will make app level topology layouts available to all containers and VMs
- state 13y agoSo if we pick where to host the containers, where's the markup? How does Ctl-C make money?
- Swannie 13y agoOpenStack can run with LXC as the "IaaS" tier.
- houk 13y agois this going to appear on github at some stage?
- keeblus 13y agoSee post by kencochrane. There's a Nova plugin to OpenStack for Docker containers.
- buster 13y agoLast time i tried openstack exactly for this reason (2-3 months ago) it was a nightmare to get _something_ to work with openstack + lxc. Nearly undocumented :(
- KenCochrane 13y agoHave you looked at https://github.com/dotcloud/openstack-docker https://github.com/dotcloud/openstack-docker it allows you to use Docker to make it easier to use LXC with openstack.
- aaronbrethorst 13y agoFor some reason this is buried at the very bottom in low-contrast text: CTL-C is the brain-child from the makers of AppFog. AppFog is now part of a $19.8B company which means we have the resources to back this in a big way. :)
- state 13y agoIt's weird: if it's such a good thing, why not make it more prominent? It was the last thing I read on the page and it left me confused.
- JoshGlazebrook 13y agoI'm still waiting to see when that Century Link acquisition is going to have any effect on Appfog. Hell, they still do not support node 0.10.x and 0.10 stable was released six months ago. I actually have the same issue with Azure websites, the newest version they support is 0.8.x, while Heroku has up to 0.10.15
- timdorr 13y agoSince this is Docker-based, it sounds like it will support any version of Node that you'd like. If you want to run on whatever's on master, it should be possible.
- pkj 13y agoAppFog was built originally around another PaaS, Cloud Foundry. Wonder how this offering will compare with that. I can understand that there would be more control because of the IaaS nature of the offering. Anything stopping them from doing the same with Cloud Foundry ?
- cardmagic 13y agoCloud Foundry will be part of CTL-C
- cardmagic 13y agoWe are not trying to hide these fact, it is just to let people know that this is a legitimate effort from legitimate people with more backing than a vaporware startup has. This is not AppFog though, which is why we do not feature these points prominently.
- drewcrawford 13y agoHello, I am probably as close as you will get to an early adopter for this product. Make absolutely certain that I show up on your "customer interview" list. E-mail in profile.
- cardmagic 13y agoEmail sent
- swanson 13y agoBe careful or LayerVault might sue you over that Present icon.
- kemka 13y agoThey're using Designmodo's Flat UI Kit http://designmodo.github.io/Flat-UI/ http://designmodo.github.io/Flat-UI/
- Veratyr 13y agoWill this be open-source so that we can run it on our own hardware/private cloud/development machines?
- shykes 13y agoI can't speak for this particular project, but Docker (on which this project is based) is already open-source, and you can absolutely deploy it on your own hardware. See http://docker.io http://docker.io for details.
- seldo 13y agoSo is this totally vaporware with a signup button to judge interest levels?
