Hi,
Apart from the odd play/test/education is anybody getting serious use
from SRSS running from inside a VM (say Virtualbox/VMWare or Xen) ?
There are more and more services being deployed on VMs these days and i was
just looking ahead and wondering if SRSS was being used.
The way i set my systems up, whereby I have a set install
(OpenSolaris/Ubuntu) and users homes are NFS's - because I keep to a set
install routine with regard to packages etc. I could (in theory) prepare a
"gold image" of say Ubuntu 9.10, then roll it out across all clients. Then
when 10.4 comes out, prepare a new "gold image" at home, install the image
on the clients machines, stop the 9.10 image and start the 10.4 (if there is
a problem - rollback).
This sounds very "nirvana" - I guess the thing that makes me edgy is the
thought of 20 users running full desktop sessions from a VM - however, with
the likes of Oracle, IBM, HP, Postgres etc. people all deploying huge
systems vurtually, makes me wonder if I am a bit behind the times. It took a
long time for me to jump to the VM world, but since doing so I really
haven't looked back.
Of course, client hardware would need to be beefy, but they are pretty state
of the art (quad core fast AMDs, 16GB RAM etc.).... maybe...
Whats your thoughts?
