Hi all,
I have a question:
?Is anyone working to make possible run OpenBSD on Amazon EC2?
now, It is possible to run NetBSD and FreeBSD, but I can not find much
information about the progress of OpenBSD on this topic.
Thanks in advanced.
I don't think anybody is working on this.
But there are several VPS companies around (arpnetworks.com is one)
that are OpenBSD friendly.
*If* I want to run a VPS, I rather give my money to a small compmay
that some behemoth.
But note that virtual systems have many drawbacks. Most importantly,
the security of OpenBSD (or any system run on a virtual system) is
bounded by the security of the VM implementation. It's another layer
that could cause security problems.

Couldn't be timed better, VMWare confirms ESX source code leak:

I'm sure hypervisor->guest VM exploits exist already, and hopefully this
will lead to more, because it is nearly unaddressed in all the virtual
computing I work with.
