I will be speaking on a panel to discuss features that developers want for cloud hosting (e.g. related to security, payment, storage, performance)...<p>What's on your wishlist?<p>What do you wish EC2/AppEngine/Heroku/... could do?
<i>What do you wish EC2 [...] could do?</i><p>FreeBSD!<p>Or maybe I should say that I wish FreeBSD could do EC2, since this is currently blocked by deficiencies in FreeBSD's Xen code. Either way, I wish I could stop using Ubuntu.
Single image, multiple machines.<p>That would be a pretty big step.<p>Then we can finally forget about things like cluster topology and inter-node transfers because they would all be completely transparent.<p>A node breaking would simply cause the unified virtual machine to become a little slower.
