We also run Triton on our public cloud @mnx.io I would love to hear more about the replacement of VMware experience and any other Triton details good/bad.

Anything specific you'd like to know? Generally there hasn't been anything game breaking and our biggest issues have been with running out of logging space for the core services (went with too low capacity disks in the beginning, doh) and one failed upgrade which didn't even take down the whole cluster during fixing. Our clients can now also provision their own VMs with the Triton API unlike with VMware which require…

This is great information, and we've had similar experiences.

I'm also looking forward to further testing LinuxCN (https://github.com/joyent/linux-live/tree/linuxcn) on Triton in the near future!

Are you running Manta (https://github.com/joyent/manta) for anything? If so, is that meeting you needs for object storage?

Not running Manta at the moment but it's on the menu. The demand for object storage hasn't been high enough to justify the spent time to set it up for now.

Not sure about linuxCN either. I would rather run !linux on bare metal as much as possible, and having purged most of the penguins from infrastructure it would feel a bit weird to go immediately back ;)

In addition, we also have SPARC hardware running on OpenBSD due great hardware support, including ldoms! Of course would be nice to run illumos on them too, but alas...
