I am trying to see the above scenario in term of personae. How would it be?
Bob the administrator who wants a root an all his VMs is going to want a
solid management tool?
I doubt Bob would like a web app. I would bet on Bob wanting a CLI tool.
And then the same Bob would want a tool for Andy the programmer from the
development team to run the machines Bob prepared? Andy would be using
Winged Monkey?
Can you please help me understand where in the above scenario fit the
tools we have or would like to have?
Thanks and regards
I don't have to tell you; I can *show* you.
Have a look at
linode.com. Here I have a very nice GUI that shows me
status of all my VMs. It shows me disk partitions, IP addresses, network
configuration, sizing -- everything I need to know about the
machine. Also nice historic graphs of disk IO, network IO, swap, etc.
I also get root on all those machines.
This, really, is all I want from Winged Monkey -- I want the
linode.com
UI, but I want it to be portable across clouds. It seems fairly obvious
to me.
