| Re: [PLUG] Run VirtualBox on a VPS? |
My question is: why go to the trouble of running a hypervisor on top of an existing virtualization setup? Why not simply use the native AWS/Linode/DigitalOcean/etc. provisioners and/or APIs? Also, I believe someone up-thread was bemoaning the lack of block storage for VPSes -- AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean all offer the ability to add block storage to existing instances. -- Doug Stewart > On May 21, 2017, at 1:57 PM, brent timothy saner <brent.saner@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On 05/21/2017 01:38 PM, Lee H.
