[9fans] "cloud" computing
I have an application for 10,000 machines. One option is to buy them
and run them, yuck!
One thought was to just rent them at amazon ecc:

Anybody worked with these guys? I need to run the 10k machines with
lguest. Any other possible providers anyone out there knows of?
thanks

Re: [9fans] "cloud" computing
is your app export-controlled?

We're using <http://www.joyent.com> which has worked well for us.
Good luck.

No. That was the first thought that hit my mind.

These are basically all Xen machines. I don't know if you can run
lguest within them, or if Amazon provides lguest-based instances.

lguest can be installed as a module, so I don't think this would be a
big problem -- of course, no vx32 is an option and its even less of a
problem....

it didn't work for me on my virtual servers under user mode linux,
which was hardly surprising. i haven't taken the time yet to discover
precisely why not.

Ahh right I forgot about that :) You'd probably want to build a custom
machine image with lguest in; I should try this myself sometime...
