Instant Applications with TurnKey Linux and VPS.NET Cloud

We’ve been using VPS.NET for a short time now and mid-june they introduced appliance images from TurnKey Linux. This makes deploying Drupal, WordPress, Rails and Apache servers amongst others quick and easy. Take a look at the following video from the guys at TurnKey Linux demonstrating how quickly VPS.NET can be used to launch Open Soruce appliances into the cloud.

Appliance features:

  • Auto-updated daily with latest security patches.
  • Webmin easy to use configuration console and web management interface
  • Minimal footprint (typically around 150MB) – each software appliance is carefully built from the ground up with the minimum components needed to serve its role with maximum efficiency and security.

Appliance list:

  • Core
  • Google App Engine SDK
  • Tomcat
  • phpBB
  • Wordpress
  • LAMP
  • LAPP
  • Ruby Rails
  • Joomla
  • MediaWiki
  • Drupal 5
  • Drupal 6
  • Django
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL

Overall we think this is a simple way to get applications running fast. When you are looking for something out of the box you can’t fail.

VPS.NET has data centres in the US and UK with billing in both currencies.
