Do you offer pre-built virtual appliances or EC2 images for RHEL?

Great questions.

We don’t track physical hardware vs VMs vs EC2 deployments separately - it’s not an interesting distinction at this point since the technologies are so pervasive. I agree it would be nice to know the breakdown on installed software vs appliances but I don’t have a way to break those out at the moment.

The GWOS EC2 image is based on CentOS 5. The Enterprise EQS virtual machine is based on SLES 11. Stay tuned for new developments there.

okay…so that answer the first question I guess. Both Community and Enterprise offerings are included.

A few follow up questions about the graph if you will indulge me.

Does the Enterprise Amazon EC2 AMI that you offer get counted as an Ubuntu deployment? I can’t find in your website literature what OS your pre-built AMI uses, I’m sort of assuming its Ubuntu based considering the penetration of Ubuntu on EC2.

Does the Enterprise Vmware virtual machine that you offer get counted as a SUSE deployment since its built on on top of SUSE?

Does the Community edition virtual machine that you offer get counted as CentOS for the same reason?

If you run this sort of survey again. It would be very interesting to see if you can get a sense of how much of the deployments is making use of dedicated prebuilt virtual appliances for GWOS versus installation into a general purpose OS instance,be it real or virtual.

Hi Jef,

The source data is a broad snapshot across all GWOS solutions across all packaging types. Each installation is equally weighted regardless of the size or scale of the deployment.

Does this graph include both community and enterprise editions? If so, do you have the information on hand to produce separate graphs for the community and enterprise versions?

Does the graph include the pre-built ec2 AMI and the virtual machine images that you offer? And if so how do you count those on the graph?

perhaps 105% more goodness, but with an installed base of 1000 monitored nodes we will have to pay 400% more than in previous years
