I don't have to tell you; I can *show* you. Have a look at linode.com. Here I have a very nice GUI that shows me status of all my VMs. It shows me disk partitions, IP addresses, network configuration, sizing -- everything I need to know about the machine. Also nice historic graphs of disk IO, network IO, swap, etc. I also get root on all those machines. This, really, is all I want from Winged Monkey -- I want the linode.com UI, but I want it to be portable across clouds. It seems fairly obvious to me. --Hugh -- == Hugh Brock, [email protected] == == Engineering Manager, Cloud BU == == Aeolus Project: Manage virtual infrastructure across clouds. == == http://aeolusproject.org == "I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." --Robert McCloskey
