Hello,In what way? Are you aware of what I've been doing over the lasr 14 years with OpenStack in Debian ? What more do we need ?You are providing the code, and the stack, not the actual paid servers for companies needing it. There might be a bunch of small/medium businesses needing some Debian server on OpenStack without having to implement locally due to lack of knowledge/time. G.
If you mean that I don't provide this for free, right, I'm not. But through the paid service at my company, it's available.
I'm not sure if / how someone can offer a free of charge access to a public cloud, considering the entry ticket for just the hardware is 200k+ USD.
Now, you're talking about "Debian server on OpenStack", well, in such case you're just talking about VMs running on OpenStack. I'm quite sure 100% of the cloud providers do offer Debian as a pre-installed image. In such case, there's about 20 OpenStack providers listed on the openstack.org market place. Maybe some of them are using Debian as the underlying OS for their service (at least, that's what we do at Infomaniak).
So, I'm still puzzled: what exactly do you think is missing? At this point, I'm tempted to say: more promotion of this? :)
