Are you considering letting developers charge customers a flat or recurring fee for one-click installation of a preconfigured service? Awesome service.

Thanks! Would love to talk to you about this further. Can you drop us a line at hello@cloud66.com please?

1. What happens if I need a binary available on the server? (wkhtmltopdf) 2. Can I choose the linux distribution? 3. Can cron jobs be set up? 4. What about stuff like scout/monit etc ? 5. What about redis/memcaches/mysql/postgres?

1. We support manifest files (in private beta now) to allow you just that. 2. Yes. Both on the server (as you would do normally on any linux box) and through our CRON app. 3. We provide minimal vital signs for all the servers: memory, disk and CPU. 4. MySql and PostgreSQL are supported. Redis is coming soon. Memcache is after that. However, it is always good to remember, all the boxes are yours and you have shell roo…

Sounds great. The problem with dropping in via shell is that, launching servers become much problematic. I think if you can run custom chef/puppet scripts, that will solve this issue.

This is awesome! I see there's Linode support built in - any plans to do the same with Digital Ocean?

Yep! Digital Ocean just released the bit of their API we needed - so yes they'll be supported soon!

I will also plan to move some client apps to this if you support digital ocean. Would love notification on that.

Great job, the UI looks really slick, Ubuntu is working on something similar (deploying development stacks to any cloud): http://www.jorgecastro.org/2012/11/16/deploying-your-rails-a... Do you guys have any plans to support OpenStack clouds?

Thanks for the comments. Juju is really cool. We are adding Rackspace support very soon. OpenStack is slightly later.
