- A way to snapshot your server, so that you can test changes and restore to a prior point in time.

I was wondering about that one too. That's a pretty huge feature. Snapshots and a simple means of transporting that snapshot offsite too (a simple download option is fine.) A snap and copy to another provider is great too (like "make a copy in S3.")

That is a big feature. Definitely would like to see that.

This would be a great add on feature.

And, of course, OpenSuse and FreeBSD offerings
-
Here's something that can be fixed. The word I circled should be "you're".

What about Upload your own temporary ISO? that might be asking for abuse though.

No cloud provider offers that that I know. It causes a lot of complications. It's a nice idea, but not ultimately very practical.

@AmanBhogal Does cloudatcost offer 2FA?
-
No, have not see any two factor authentication.

Bummer. Good thing to add to the wishlist
-
I agree, 2FA would be nice to have. Maybe just something simple like Google's 2FA system?
-
Not high on my list, but I would like to see that too. I agree to Google, I use that already and like it.
-
However, here is a concern. As a company user, not an individual, 2FA would break the ability for other members of my team to log in and use the service too. Before 2FA can be implemented I think that multiple user support has to be.

Why? as long as the 2FA is tied to your logon you should be fine.
Any reason they can't create multiple logons to the servers your company buys? -

Any reason they can't create multiple logons to the servers your company buys?Because 2FA only works for one user (normally.) If you have Google, Aladdin, SafeWord, RSA ID, etc. you have to physically have a device. If I have that with me and Art or Greg need access to the account.... what do we do?
Most cloud services don't offer multiple users, it's a problem. Rackspace is the same way and it is crippling. You have to use shared accounts for cloud access!!

You could create 2FA at the OS level in your cloud instance as you can add more users. They just wouldn't have access to the control panel

Wow, that sounds like a HUGE flaw! How do you know does what? In something as critical as cloud services to be without this basic security logging seems unthinkable!
