Hello everyone,
I'm interested in launching cloud services utilizing CloudStack but have a few questions if one wouldn't mind answering for me. Thanks in advance. I intend on using Centos 6.4 (or 6.5) across the board for all hosts, manager servers, HV's in the cloud cluster. 1. Will CS notify me if a hardware and/or service fails on a particular host (node)? 2. Is this a suitable platform for general cloud web hosting (aka 'shared hosting') as well as VPS and dedicated cloud hosting? 3. Are there any templates available? I Googled and strange enough, could not find any at all. 4. What's a suitable HV spec for massive vps cloud hosting? My guess/assumption is at least a dual hexacore with at least 16GB of ram to start and RAID-10 SSD drives (perhaps 1TB each) just to have that up front hardcore specs and space. However, if I'm understanding correctly, the disk portion has it's on HV while the CPU/Memory is *another* HV, can someone clarify this? This is the general setup concept I got from OnApp techs at one point. 5. Is CS necessarily a good choice for end-customer who wants a "dedicated cloud" in the sense of the traditional dedicated server? This part for some reason I'm a bit confused on as I've seen some competitors who us CS and offer "dedicated cloud" using CS' platform, but pricing is about the same and nothing else appears different as far as redundancy, etc. Maybe something slipped my eyes? Is there no community forum either? I also searched, only found one from "open citrix" which is just archives and no activity for a year or so. Thanks. LogicWeb Inc.
