What about server security updates? How do you handle normal package updates, restarting services after an update, etc?
We don't want to push our users to fixed upgrade windows, so we let them choose when it's convenient for their business to have the updates and then act accordingly.

Well, Cloudfoundry actually offers both: When you don't want to run the servers yourself, you can use services like appfog and nodejitsu (there may be more like those), which run a CloudFoundry stack. When you decide "Hey, I want to run it on my server(s)", then you just setup their open source stack (there's even an automatic setup process for this) on your server and you're running on your own machine. I assume I c…
I don't believe nodejitsu runs on CloudFoundry. The other one I know of is Stackato.
Any plans to support nginx/unicorn? Love passenger, but I really need the rolling restarts...
Yep thats also already on our roadmap!
My app won't take the load in my current VM unless we run nginx / unicorn.
At $9/month I suspect you are drastically under-valuing the service you provide. Sysadmin time is expensive, and your value proposition is the same as Heroku: pay us so you don't waste time sysadmining your boxes. Time is unimaginably precious for small SaaS shops, and if you deliver what you promise, it's worth far more than $9/month. Not to nay-say, but if you don't price according to value delivered, you don't sta…
Only thing is though, here you have the option of choosing a larger instance type and by percentage the charge may be to low. To combat that I suggest a more tiered pricing.
Can you give a technical explanation of how this actually works? Heroku works by compiling your git repository with a buildpack into a "slug" and then booting that slug on a cookie-cutter LXC image running on an EC2 VM, according to process types you defined in your Procfile and the scaling you set through heroku's API, and then routing web traffic to your web processes. etc etc. Can you explain with some technical d…
Thanks for the question - there is a little more detail here: https://www.cloud66.com/help/cloud66_stack Happy to answer specific questions
I really do think that there is a place in the market for something like this, and the more providers you support, the better off both you and your customers are.

We provision the servers to be as secure as possible at the OS level using open source and industry tested best practices. If you are running on a cloud vendor like AWS you can benefit from added security layer provided by our partners at Dome 9 to provide network level security.
Thank you for responding. I'd like to see a page about security in your site. Its important.
Sorry, couldn't help it ;)
