Xen users - Apr 2008 - Weird question about deploying xen vms to showcase and collaborate

Hello All,

I am just nearing the momentous accomplishment of installing centos 5.1 on
ubuntu feisty, I appreciate the help I got from people in the mailing list
as well as those in the xen chat room.  One my question is I work on an
opensource project called adempiere that I would like to make a xen vm
appliance for.  I know that jailtime has had problems with their appliances,
can anyone recommend a production/stable way to deploy a xen vm appliance
that "will always work" or at least should always work?  I was
thinking it
would be great if there was like a live cd that could load the xen vm image
after it loads up.  Any ideas/thoughts?  I know that amazon has their grid
architecture that could allow people to buy a temp server to load the vm
appliance on which is a possibility but I want to avoid charging people just
to see the software.  Anyway, I would love to know some approaches to
accomplish this goal.

-Tim

P.S.

Xen rocks!

Hi there Tim,

Have you looked at rpath?  http://www.rpath.com/corp/

Their rbuilder (http://www.rpath.com/rbuilder/) is designed to make it easy to 
build software appliances for a variety of VM platforms, including Xen.

Maybe something like this would suit?

Cheers,
Mark
