I'm not too worried about an IaaS running 32-bit nodes, more a question of whether folks are choosing 32-bit or 64-bit for their workload on AWS or other providers. Some very light research shows me that 32-bit is slightly less necessary now that AWS supports 64-bit across all instance types: http://alestic.com/2012/03/ec2-64-bit Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst [email protected] | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/ _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
