True, but much less of an issue than just leaving the same version of keys in place. In case you're curious, here's how the cloud-init library generally used for ec2 and ec2 compatible clouds works: https://github.com&#

One good thing to note is that any VM image using cloud-init (a package for debian/rhel systems) should automagically generate a new host_key set for any new system image. Basically if you build a system image for EC2 or any system tha

Any chance you'll be adding/have Puppet support as well? We have our cart hitched pretty firmly to it at this point. Congrats on the upcoming release!

Puppet-lint ;). But seriously, cool to see a puppet module for dokku as I imagine the author will continue to work on it even with this new project. I'd say keep working on it if you have time!

Yeah, CF is a very powerful toolkit (as you mention with the API), but part of the power seems to come coupled with the complexity. I've seen some scripts/documentation to install on Openstack (this is the best so far http:/

Indeed and Cloud Foundry has 'enterprise' forks as well (Stackato: http://www.activestate.com/stackato/compare-with-cloud-found... ). Essentially I think there's a huge market here and all I see for DotCl

Not sure I completely agree with this. I don't know what your internal discussions were, but at least one of your competitors has an 'enterprise' option in which they give you your own version of the toolkit. Sadly among this

Well I can say that the closest alternative to this would be Cloud Foundry. Their Warden system is what manages the containers: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/warden/tree/master/warden They actually don

Read comment up-stream. I disagree with this standpoint and I'm sure can find you stories out there beyond mine to back up what I'm suggesting. DNS hosting as well is so inexpensive unless you're in the hundreds of millions o

by druiid 13y ago
Okay, thanks for clarifying. The next question then would be, if you do reach your stretch goals and implement auto-scaling, would you at that point have cloud/MaaS API integration?

Well, fail2ban can help, but that is only going to be generally quick enough to keep up with the initial ramp-up of the attack I'd expect. Once the full attack gets going you're probably going to be seeing requests from thousands

Indeed. I'm a bit curious as to why DotCloud released Docker? I mean, sure, someone was going to have an easy-to-use container system sooner or later, but for now that is one of the few defining features that DotCloud has going for the

Very cool! Been looking for something like this since Docker was announced. Basically Cloud Foundry is far too complex for what I/we need but this would fit the bill nicely. One question though, what is going to be 'the cluster&#x

You'd think that it would be a good idea... until someone decides YOU are going to be the target of a DDoS attack. I speak from experience. I have many (at least 15) years of experience dealing with DNS and hosting of it, yet when a bo

In all honesty you can get these same benefits from dedicated hardware. Throw openstack or similar on a set of Hetzner or similar machines and have at!

by druiid 13y ago
Yep. Many businesses should (and a lot don't...) make this cost comparison. Also, 256GB of memory in a server is surprisingly not that impressive (even for a 1U server) these days! Crazy to think there are 1U machines you can cram 1TB

by druiid 13y ago
I'd say it's vastly out of date now. You can squeeze a LOT into new Dell/HP 1U/2U servers. Their R620 systems can take nearly a terabyte (768GB) of memory per server and the R720 can do the same, but with the 720XD it ca

To be honest, you chose looking at the most expensive dedicated hosting provider. Also, they're just not-that-great. Their service and support staff are wonderful, but as soon as you actually need to do anything complex... good luck ge

PHP never really went away. It's still quietly powering many, many websites out there (and not just sites running a copy of Wordpress). There are active developers making loads of projects with it still. I think it gets a bad rap on HN

As others have said they don't actually have a lot of RAM dedicated to Redis. You can put 1.5TB of memory in many 'inexpensive' Dell servers (single machines, not clusters). So basically a cabinet of machines you could have o

You can actually manage a deployment methodology this way (update x number of hosts kinds of things) pretty handily using Mcollective with puppet. You can even script your own plugins for it to do basically whatever orchestration flow you w

shrug Everyone hates on MySQL, and I have my periods of hate as well (mostly I think they boil down to actually hating the Developers of MySQL, not the actual software)... But the thing is that for our purposes MySQL works and works well

by druiid 13y ago
Sadly MySQL has a history of bugs like this. There are a few we have run across that have probably been open longer than this bug, and yet have not been fixed. I'd have to look the bug numbers up from e-mail, but yeah.. there are tons

Sounds interesting for sure. I don't see any built-in ability to generate qcow2 style images though. Are you going to add that? There are ways to convert (like from a virtualbox image), but having the built-in ability to create qcow2 w

Indeed. My wife and friends in the same industry make quite a good living off of romance novel writing. Women have their erotica, but it's more 'in your head' kind of stuff, than the visual market of porn for men.
