Okay, so for one hour, no sign of it.

Maybe just open a support ticket.

I'm still wondering what C@C hasn't given us any answers for the issues.

Trying logging out and back in.

I tried that a bit.

And maybe try firefox instead of chrome. But that might be a long shot.

Just got an email about the reimage and the system showed up again. Sadly it is not reimaged, but at least it is in the panel again.

scottalanmiller

Okay, it is up and working now! Finally.

@scottalanmiller What a pain, huh?

scottalanmiller

Yeah, that was a lot of work just to get it imaged. Seems to be okay now.

Scott, considering the other thread, what type of windows license do you need to run a windows server in C@C?

There is none that lets you.

So for Cloud based Windows servers, you're only option is to rent the OS from the Cloud provider? like Rackspace $10/month/machine?

azure

Here's more info on that type of licencing. http://bit.ly/1FxIRTP

Correct. The price is baked in so just compare someone's CentOS to Windows offerings of the same specs to see what the price difference is. It's the only licensing model for this sort of thing.

Just like how Windows 8 on a VM requires VDI. Special cases means special licensing from MS.

Same with Red Hat. If you want RHEL, you need it through the cloud provider, you can't bring your own. Only the free, open source OSes transparently work in a cloud setting. The cloud is making open source so much easier to use.

Yep. And Red Hat licensing is actually worse than Windows Server.

Not really, it comes with awesome support. Windows you just pay to have the right to be unsupported.

Yes, global workloads are shifting to open source at an unbelievable pace. The cloud is the primary driver. Licensing for things like Windows is so much more dramatic to today's businesses than it used to be.
