      @gotwf said in SAMIT: IBM Is Killing Off CentOS:

      @scottalanmiller Yes. This I know. But this isn't bare metal but rather SmartOS hypervisor in a Triton datacenter. So I presume all is atop ZFS. I never delved deeper so honestly do not know.

      Hopefully not, as ZFS isn't all that fast. But you need XFS touching WiredTiger... what's lower in the stack isn't what it is concerned with. You still control your own filesystem regardless of what the datacenter may or may not use elsewhere.

      @mlnews Sometimes you just have to wonder about marketing guys "New secure services with Java". Javascript maybe, but Java? That on top of the whole encryption thing, really people.

      I'm sure they're amazing, just wish I had a need for one!

      Actually Mainframes run insane amounts of traditional Java. Because Java is what replaced COBOL in financial applications and because mainframes are focused primarily on financial workloads, it's a very big deal there.

      Ah. That'd explain it then. I'll grant that I'd rather deal with JAVA than COBOL!

      Looking at the details page, here is a limitation depending on how you handle client accounts, or your own accounts.

      What are the Lightsail service limits?
      You can currently create up to 20 Lightsail instances, 5 static IPs, and 3 DNS domain zones in a Lightsail account.

      But this is pretty cool. Ability to manage traffic before it hits your VPS:

      Can I manage firewall settings for my instance?
      .
      You can control the data traffic for your instances by using the Lightsail firewall. From the Lightsail console, you can set rules about which ports of your instance are publicly accessible for different types of traffic.

      Never saw that. And it doesn't seem to make any sense. And certainly doesn't make me want to use Linux. What a freaking weird ad.

      It would not be unlikely for the power of this workstation to be comparable to more than the processing capabilities of a fully populated Proliant DL580 quad CPU Xeon server.

      Which brings up an interesting point, this means that IBM has abandoned Lenovo, their long term partner and the owner of the old IBM brand. So, in a way, IBM no longer runs IBM! Which is not that shocking, since even in 2000 - 2001 they relied on Sun to provide their servers instead of eating their own dogfood.

      Good point. I don't particularly doubt that it is there, just don't want to count unhatched chickens, you know? HP used to sell Proliants with the built in virtualization disabled via BIOS. Not that IBM would pull that, but without knowing that the feature is there for sure, it's something to look into.

      SuperMicro is beginning to make the lines between Tier 1 and Tier 2 blurry as they increase their level of engineering on their products and begin to offer more and more enterprise class support for their products.

      Oh, I've heard of Power, just wasn't aware they were still making it. Thanks.

      IBM i Series, P Series and mainframes are still around. Anything running AIX, System i, System z, etc. are on Power. Linux and several BSDs support Power too.
