For those of you who have gone down the Cloud-at-Cost CloudPro route, what's your current thinking?
I have two Developer 1 systems acquired during the various fire sales. Could I convert each to CloudPro and combine their individual resources into one pile of goodies comprising 2 Xeon vCPUs, 1024MB RAM and a 20+GB SSD? With the two systems I have now I have 2 separate public IPs. Would I have to purchase a second IP if I converted both to CloudPro and combined them (if I can even do that)?
The advantage I see at my very-small-scale is that I could have one single bigger V-machine if I wanted one -- basically a Developer 2 -- or two of the same size small V-machines but with more granular SSD or maybe even RAM assignments (perhaps, for example, 5GB disk for one, 15GB disk for the other).
A disadvantage is that I have one machine exactly the way I want it, including a number of hand-installed daemons and applications, a couple of which were a PITA to get where I wanted, what with dependencies and all. Not sure that I can image or back up that one machine and move it easily to a CloudPro instance.
Thoughts now that CloudPro has been available for a spell?
