hey, Luke here :)

if anyone is interested in trying out Flocker we have a really cool new online tutorial system where you can have root on a 3-node flocker cluster for 3 hours to kick the tyres for free.

there are 200 VMs lined up so hey hacker news here's a challenge, see if you can use them all up :D

Do you support Google Cloud Platform persistent disks?

ferrantim2• 11 years ago

Not yet, but we have a system of pluggable storage options so the community (or us eventually) can write one for Google Compute. https://docs.clusterhq.com/en/1.0.0/gettinginvolved/plugins....

Not yet but Flocker itself has a plugin mechanism for block device backends so it should be fairly easy to do so: https://docs.clusterhq.com/en/1.0.0/gettinginvolved/plugins....

What's your use case for this @crb? Do you run production container workloads on Google Cloud Platform? Which databases are you interested in?

Any actually free, open source system that I can deploy on my Docker box?

lewq3• 11 years ago

Flocker is fully free and open source under the Apache 2 licence and you can run it on Ubuntu or CentOS -- what OS would you like to see?

The demo is great. Thank you for putting in the effort to make that possible.
