Inappropriate?Jaunty coming soon - then you just click on "Ready to Build" and pick the OS only.1 Comment

Please define "soon" you would have had a new customer last night if this had been available. -
Inappropriate?Soon means we are testing and setting up the necessary mirror infra.
In the short run - sign up for the free edition - email me your elastic server user ID at pjkerpan (at) cohesiveft.com - and I will use our collaboration features to share out a Jaunty server to you for download.

Is what you're going to do going to make it available in the OS Choices in my build console? Remember, I'm new at this and I'm still unclear on the build->deploy series of events... User name is: ssteiner

Speaking of old versions, Python 2.6 (final) was released on October 1st, 2008, Django 1.0.2 on November 18, 2008, yet neither is available, far as I could tell, as a component. Python's stuck at 2.5 and Django's stuck at 1.0, including obsolete pre-release versions. Django 1.0 was released about a year ago. Hmmmmm...

Inappropriate?Given all of the software components out there it is unlikely that any team, regardless of size, could keep them all up to date. Elastic Server allows you to import pretty much any software you want. You can then choose to keep it private or publish it to the community.
Here is an example of how to do that: http://www.cohesiveft.com/dnld/Elasti...
There is lots of software in ES you can't see - imported and used by people and teams to use for their projects.
We welcome contributions and updates from community members.

PS. Regarding your previous question it it likely to be a couple weeks before we have Jaunty available to all the accounts. If you want a stock Jaunty in a particular VM format - let me know and I will make one and share it out to you. It will show up on your "Servers" page.

Sorry, this is a naive question but what would that allow me to do with it? Could I further customize it, or would I just be able to download or deploy it, then I'd have to customize the old fashioned way. I don't quite get the flow of ElasticServer vis a vis ElasticServer and/or EC2.
-
Inappropriate?Sorry. I must have understood you. I thought you wanted a "stock" Ubuntu server with no customization's done via Elastic Server.
"All the flexibility is great but I just need a quick Ubuntu 9.04, stock server. What's the quickest way to get that?"
If I share out a VM with you - you can download it - and do whatever customization you want by hand. Which is what I thought you wanted. If you want to be able to simply add any of the community components, or privately uploaded components to a Jaunty, then we can't meet your need until we publicly release Jaunty support.
The reason for the "bill of materials" approach of Elastic Server is that you can capture the instructions for a server of your design and then be able to rapidly re-deploy it to different Virtual Machine or Cloud Formats (VMware, Xen, Parallels, KVM, VIrtual Iron, EC2, Open Source Eucalyptus, ElasticHosts, etc) with a click of a button.
Elastic Server allows you to capture YOUR server design and share with others (who can then make an instance in any of the above formats, and often in their OS of choice) without having to know the pages of commands to build such a server themselves.
For examples see the Open Blue Dragon server or the Razuna server.
http://elasticserver.com/site/razuna
http://elasticserver.com/site/open-bl...
These Open Source teams deliver finished servers which their users can customize by adding software components, choosing their VM type or cloud. Lots of time saved by all.
Similar situations exist in the world of Appliance Vendors, Traditional ISVs and Enterprises.
We will post here when we turn on Jaunty for Community and Personal Edition accounts.
Cheers,

Thanks! This is partly my lack of experience with your particular tool. I'm still a little fuzzy about how I can add my own "Django 1.0.2" since the sequence of commands for actually setting it up doesn't seem to be part of the equation; it just unzips the tar into the destination location as far as I can tell. Obviously, there's a lot more to setting up and serving Django than than that.
Oh well, without 9.0.4, I'll just have to wait to experiment with that part but, for now, yes, a raw 9.0.4 would let me set it up with other automation tools I have and would work for now.
I'm still a little fuzzy on deploying that to Elastic Servers, which is really the end-point.
I'm having trouble nailing down the exact pricing per hour for specific configurations since the site seems to be skewed towards leading people to use their monthly subscriptions which makes sense vis a vis their business model but doesn't make sense vis a vis my desired usage model.
So, if you could put the 9.0.4 where I could deploy the raw OS, that would be very helpful.
I don't quite understand how to set the specific configuration (memory, cpu, and disk space) on the Elastic Server side but maybe that's just since I haven't gone that far yet.
Thanks,
