TurnKey Core 12.0 RC optimized builds
Last month we announced therelease candidate for TurnKey Core 12.0 - the common base for all appliances, based on the rock solid Debian Squeeze (6.0.4).
New Hub feature: Server snapshots
I usually get excited when adding new features to theTurnKey Hub. Recent excitement includedserver monitoring,reserved instances,domain management, and theHub API.
I'm very excited about todays annoucement, not only is it awesomely useful, it's also technically cool!
New Hub feature: Cloud server monitoring
Ladies and gentle geeks, I'm proud to announce we've just pushed out 100% free basic server monitoring to allTurnKey Hub accounts. This should make it easier to keep tabs on the health and performance of your cloud servers. Existing Hub users don't need to do anything to enjoy this new feature. It just works.
A better server dashboard
As you can see in the screenshot below, the server dashboard now includes thumbnail graphs of CPU utilization, disk IO and network traffic for the last hour:
TurnKey Hub: Not just adding random features
I started writing a review for cloudtask as a comment on theannouncement, but decided it would be better to address atopic that was raised by Jeremiah when we launched theHub API:
Introducing CloudTask - a cloud batch execution tool
The cloud. Isn't that just a new name everyone on the latest hype bandwagon is slapping on the same old stuff? Yes. Or rather, at least the way some clueless marketing types are using it that is. With so much smoke you'd forgive the cynics for thinking there's no fire. But... there are a few genuinely interesting things an IT guy can do today that just weren't practical a few years back.
TurnKey 11.2, free micro instances, EBS backed cloud servers
TurnKey 11.2: micro instances, EBS support, built-in TurnKey DNS, security updates
We just updated the web site and the TurnKey Hub with the new TurnKey 11.2 maintenance release, which includes:
- TurnKey Hub support for micro instances, Amazon's free tier and cloud servers backed by persistent network-attached storage volumes (AKA EBS backed instances).
- Built-in support for TurnKey's newdynamic DNS service.
- The latest security updates.
TurnKey Domain management & Dynamic DNS
A while ago I was chatting with Liraz and said"wouldn't it be great if when launching a cloud server the Hub would perform some magic and assign the server a friendly name? I'm tired of remembering IP addresses, and logging into our DNS management console to setup records."
Then we thought,"lets make DNS easy, lets make it TurnKey". So we did...
No matter your use case, we got you covered:
Announcing public API for TurnKey Hub
More power, control, flexibility and automation of cloud servers.
Alan Kay once said:"Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible". We live by those words, and I think we've done a pretty good job up until now.
TheHub makes launching and managing instances on Amazon EC2 reallysimple, but the one thing that has been missing is a solution to make complex things possible - i.e., programmatic control.
New Hub feature: Auto-Restore TKLBAM backup to a new cloud server
Since weannounced the release ofTurnKey Hub v1.0 two weeks ago, we followed up with thetwo top issues users reported, and continued to receive awesome feedback - you guys rock, keep it coming!
