| reya276 | Hey has anyone used Centrify before? | 01:20 |
|---|---|---|
| reya276 | and do you need a Windows Active Directory Server? | 01:20 |
| reya276 | ah darn it never mind you still need AD, damn it I want to get rid of Windows Server altogether! | 01:23 |
| dorgan | whats a good load average to keep a box under? | 14:26 |
| katyl | http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages | 14:31 |
| katyl | Good run through of load. <.70 seems to be the good answer. | 14:31 |
| dorgan | so having a load average that bumps up to between 1.5 and 2.5 is bad? | 14:40 |
| dorgan | actually its a multi-core system so staying under 3.5 is probably ideal...correct? | 14:42 |
| mhall119 | zoopster: ping | 15:17 |
| zoopster | yo mhall119 | 15:17 |
| mhall119 | zoopster: what does rackspace use for their cloud? | 15:18 |
| zoopster | what do you mean | 15:18 |
| mhall119 | is it Eucalyptus, OpenStack, UEC? | 15:18 |
| zoopster | it's rackspace | 15:18 |
| mhall119 | their own? | 15:18 |
| zoopster | yes | 15:18 |
| zoopster | it's a xen dom0 customized approach similar to EC2 | 15:19 |
| zoopster | they built a api | 15:19 |
| zoopster | they will convert to openstack novacc soon...it's being tested now, but it's not ready | 15:19 |
| mhall119 | ah, ok | 15:20 |
| mhall119 | I'm presenting to my department at 11 about ubuntu's cloud offering and other things I learned at UDS | 15:20 |
| zoopster | very cool mhall119 good luck... | 15:39 |
| zoopster | I just got back from the openstack summit | 15:39 |
| zoopster | good stuff | 15:39 |
| mhall119 | thanks | 15:41 |
| mhall119 | not that I think I'm going to make them go right out and buy Ubuntu servers | 15:41 |
| mhall119 | but hopefully I'll at least make them start thinking about the benefits of an internal cloud | 15:42 |
| zoopster | good deal...share how it goes! | 15:42 |
| mhall119 | will do | 15:42 |
| dorgan | mhall119: ping | 15:53 |
| mhall119 | dorgan: I'll be back in an hour or so, meeting time | 16:00 |
| dorgan | mhall119: we use rackspace cloud and love it | 16:00 |
| dorgan | just wanted to say that :) | 16:00 |
| mhall119 | dorgan: ok, thanks | 16:55 |
| mhall119 | zoopster: so it went pretty well | 16:57 |
| mhall119 | our director seemed interested and was asking what we would have to do to start evaluating cloud tech | 16:57 |
| mhall119 | our biggest issue will probably be that we're invested in RedHat right now | 16:59 |
| dorgan | why not go with centOS then? | 16:59 |
| dorgan | or is more of a support contract length type issue? | 16:59 |
| mhall119 | I'm not sure of the reasons, but likely it's support | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | for not going to CentOS | 17:02 |
| mhall119 | it'll be a barrier to Ubuntu just because it'll be a change | 17:02 |
| dorgan | gotcha... | 17:03 |
| dorgan | well like I said we are using rackspace cloud for a couple of our SaaS solutions and we love it...(knock on wood) havent had any server downtime...from time to time their control is slow...but overall its a great service and I was very impressed by the speed of servers | 17:04 |
| reya276 | hello everyone | 17:35 |
| dorgan | mhall119: there is also these guys....http://www.gigenetcloud.com we're thinking of trying them | 17:44 |
| RoAkSoAx | itnet7 i texted u yest. did u received it? | 17:51 |
| zoopster | mhall119: glad to hear it went well...happy to work with you on fodder to show the move away from RH/CentOS is justifiable | 19:04 |
| zoopster | mhall119: for that matter you can run centos as guests in UEC easily | 19:05 |
| zoopster | dorgan: everyone and their brother has a "cloud" solution...gigenetcloud appears to be simply managed virtualization. Really only Rackspace and EC2 have true cloud offerings | 19:06 |
| dorgan | anyone else agree with zoopsters last statement...not sure how rackspacecloud is a true cloud and gigenetcloud isnt | 19:41 |
| dorgan | maybe someone can enlightenme | 19:41 |
| reya276 | what is the buttons combination at boot time to get to CLI for some reason my GDM is not showing | 22:22 |
