You could run Remus between two host nodes in different datacenters with dedicated 1gbps link, just have to wait for BGP failover

Don't think so. It was suggested simply as a "very easy to use virtualization", and anyway there are more robust platforms for VM failover via simple shared storage / distributed block storage like OpenStack (which OP already acknowledged), OpenNebula, etc. I don't think there's any VM...

Sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant "really?" as in "really? why would you post that unrelated garbage in this thread?". proxmox is just VM management software; nothing to do with VM failover technology.

Really?

No: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech#Iceland Can you clarify why privacy is a concern for hosting in the U.S.? Do you mean the owner doesn't want to publicly link his or her identity with the website being operated?

On Xen HVM and KVM, the disk image can be copied over and usually the OS will boot without any problems (especially if it's Linux), this includes transferring between Xen HVM and KVM (qemu supports a wide range of disk formats, but your provider might have a restriction, so you may have to...

I had this problem when I disabled user agent header. Seems like the forum sends invalid JS if it can't recognize the browser?

I don't understand, if the main virtual machine fails, then how do you intend to transfer its disk to the cloud provider (given that the host node that it was on is presumably now offline)? Or if you mean you want to keep the disk synchronized between two hypervisors, that's not really possible...

Haha, well can't argue with that ^^

@ICPH: e.g. for web application, a typical approach is: Use a distributed database for any persistent data. This may be master-slave MySQL, MySQL Galera/NDB cluster, MongoDB, Cassandra, etc. Write your application code so that requests can be processed in parallel across multiple application...

So like, you were disappointed with the level of managed support (in general it's better to go with $XYZ/hour instead of bundled managed plans IMO; and also to separate your hosting provider and server management provider, so that you don't have to cancel hosting plans), requested a refund, and...

Certainly not (there is a micro-checkpointing patch for KVM, but it seems unstable). IMO these days it's more worth it to design your application to be fault tolerant (like you were saying above) than to focus on per-VM availability (especially when >half of the downtime events is going to be...

The WHMCS integration was implemented in Lobster (module for hosting account category that will register accounts with Lobster, add credit, and authenticate via link in service page).

Customer must build in availability/redundancy, these are impossible to reliably implement without sacrificing performance below the application level. It may have been done for a while, but customers had to maintain their own infrastructures, and increasing capacity meant buying more servers...

We've all heard the complaints: providers are abusing the word "cloud" to market their services; this abuse is perpetuated by customers who don't know what cloud really is; and then so and so platform is not "true cloud". Those who make these statements (let's call them "misguided cloud...

Can you clarify what you disagree with in my reply above? I argued that a cloud infrastructure should support cloud applications; if we accept that, then the only requirement is horizontal (not vertical) scalability and multiple locations. Also it's unclear what you mean by "single hypervisor"...

Is anyone having issues posting replies in Firefox? I enabled JavaScript from both vpsboard.com and also "voat.com" but it just changes the "Answer to this question" to a blank uneditable box with "Insert other media" on the right hand side. Edit: it seems to only be broken when I disable...

Huh, this is the second time I saw "Chinese website" prohibited in an acceptable usage policy. Why are Chinese characters unacceptable?
