The coreos announcement also coincided with the release of the new userdata facility on DO (smoser verified its basically ec2 compatible) which means cloud-init support. In the future version of this plugin i intend to use the userdata facilities as it will speed up non bootstrap machine allocation as at the moment each machine has to be ssh'd into.</span></blockquote><div><br></div><div> Product owner! move this "history" to the top of the backlog please! :)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr">Cheers,<div>Sebas.</div><div><br></div></div></div>

That's all I have to say. Digital Ocean is one of the fastest cloud hosts around with their SSD backed virtual machines. To top it off their billing is a no-nonsense straight forward model. $5/mo for their lowest end server, with 1TB of included traffic. That's enough to scratch just about any itch you might have with the cloud.</p><p style="margin:1.6rem 0px;font-family:raleway,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:30px">Speaking of scratching itches, if you haven't checked out Juju yet, now you have a <strong>prime, low cost cloud provider</strong> to toe the waters. Spinning up droplets with Juju is very straight forward, and offers you a hands on approach to service orchestration thats affordable enough for a weekend hacker to whet their appetite. Not to mention, Juju is currently the #1 project on their API Integration listing! <a href="http://goo.gl/m6u781" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/m6u781</a><br><br>In about 11 minutes, we will go from zero to deployed infrastructure for a scale-out blog (much like the one you're reading right now).<br></p></div></div>
