I'll have a look into them, I've heard of puppet before but not the others do you have any preference? Gary,

While words are little consolation, I do want to briefly touch upon each of the 4 points you outlined. 1) OS images - yes, currently we only offer RHEL & CentOS (as well as Windows Server 2003/2008 if you are a Windows person). But soon we will have Ubuntu added to the mix. What Linux distro are you looking for specifically? 2) Load Balancers - you are correct. The current version of our hardware-based load balancers currently does not have edit capabilities enabled within the GUI or API. However, this is an item that will be address this year. I don't know the exact timing unfortunately. Also, there are ways to create and delete the LB's at the same time. It's a bit of a hack (using two windows of a browser) and I'm not sure how long it takes an IP to become released back once you delete the LB, but it really shouldn't be 10-15 minutes. 3. Stored Images - I guess you didn't read your April GoGrid newsletter (grin). We do mention a new feature that is coming in June called myGSIs. I'm in the process of finishing a blog post all about it. It will be posted here: http://blog.gogrid.com and I know you will be pleasantly surprised. 4. Changing RAM - that two is something nice that is part of the myGSI feature being rolled out. It is often requested and we have a solution that we think you will like. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I'm @hightechdad (on Twitter) and you can email me: michael AT gogrid.com. Look forward to your review. -Michael Hi Shawn,
