SUSE Studio: Point-and-Click Linux Appliances
It has been a few months since Novell launched the SUSE Appliance program. So we checked in with Novell to see how the effort was going so far. Matt Richards, director, emerging technologies, and Steve Hale, VP and worldwide data center channel lead, offered me a few updates on Oct. 30. Here’s a recap of my conversation.
If you’re unfamiliar with the software appliance concept, it’s easy. Instead of taking the time to setup a server, install all the applications, configure and deploy it and hope it all works, you can skip all that and jump straight to the end. SUSE Studio, Novell says, allows you to log on to Novell’s network, configure your server there, test it out on Novell’s VM, save changes, and download a working image.
Essentially, you do all the hard work in the cloud and then test drive it. The packaged image is ready to go in any format you want. ISO, USB boot image, Live CD, VM Ware HyperVisor image and coming soon, an Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) Image.
