It's a tech demo; it'll be more locked down (no network access). The main thing is to tweak the host so the docker containers are routable to the proxy but no external network. The 24 core Xeons are our (rackspace) OnMetal high me

You're not quite wrong, but I would (happily) point out that some existing customers are using this as a dev/test program prior to production launching. We can't attach it to an existing account though.

Remember; that 50$/mo fee was rolled into the product prices before. That's why under the old model a 4gb server cost 1/3 of 4, 1gb boxes. The new pricing lowers the infrastructure prices (and levels them so 1gb of ram == 1

I'm biased: I work for rackspace and fucking love OnMetal - I think it's the near perfect blend of API driven booting of bare metal servers I've seen. Last time I booted a High I/O instance it came up in 2.5 minutes. And

I think support has to move up the stack to be remotely relevant to 2014 markets and beyond. This is my goal and why I'm running point on the dev to dev support. But to your point, on the 15th we precisely outlined what is covered on e

Working on that: if you email me: jesse.noller@rackspace.com I can confirm for you. I run a report regularly that enables a developer+ right hand support drawer.

Since I'm honest: I also have a DO account for the things I feel a VPS is good for; IRC bouncer, little programs I just need a shell for, etc.

Yes, you could go into the startup program! See the last item in the FAQ https://developer.rackspace.com/developer-plus/faq/

FWIW: For MongoDB replicas and scale out - I would recommend taking a look at ObjectRocket. I'm not kidding when I say they're the only way I'm using mongo in an application. On the pricing: You are right; we are not attempti

You should not have had that apache problem and not gotten help. Period. That's unacceptable, and I'm sorry. We're working on it

Thank you. I'll actually send this directly to product management. All of this is valid feedback. As an aside, the MySQL offering just revamped quite a bit recently: http://www.rackspace.com/blog/cloud-databases-in

See, it't not a yearly free trial - and that's why I avoided saying that completely . Other providers have a free tier with a specific instance type, or # of api calls that you're "limited to" per month, if you exc

Anyone who needs help calculating how much they will pay after the year is up can ask me, and it will also be shown on the invoice each month.

Can you (honest question) itemize what's better white glove service? Because I want to take that list and act on it inside of Rackspace.

Just on the softlayer-esque note, I'd love your thoughts about the OnMetal product

Not precisely - I'm the architect behind this and personally, I hate anything labeled free or trial - they tend to draw people in, yes, but they're often crippled or limited. What this is 50$/month for 12 months (600$) off yo
