> 2. Do people have any experiences with running CF hosting on a VM solution, > how does it compare to a standalone server? In most configurations disk I/O is a bit more unpredictable. For the rest it is the same. > 3. I tried to convince my boss that "cloud" is just another of those > meaningless marketing buzz-words The cloud is a buzzword. However, hidden behind more buzzwords (at least in the case of AWS) as "design to fail", "autoscale" and "RDS" are some sound technological concepts and offerings that make the cloud more than just a big VM environment. If you have no need for them and your application can't use them, the cloud is just a big VM environment. Jochem -- Jochem van Dieten http://jochem.vandieten.net/
