This looks really nice, I always hate managing servers when I really just want to run containers.

Does it connect easily with Docker Hub?

And what about running databases? How would I do that so that I don't loose any data?

Founder is here.

Yes, "hyper pull" work seamlessly with any Docker registry, public or private.

For persistent workload, Hyper_ provides the EBS-like volume, e.g. "hyper run -v vol:/path", but the volume is not local, instead it is distributed and replicated. And similar to EBS, you can create snapshots and restore to new volumes.

Okay, and how you authenticate against private repositories?

Sounds pretty cool with distributed volumes, so they can unlike EBS be mounted to multiple containers?

Same with Docker, you can just "hyper login", then pull the images.

Yes, currently no shared volume.

It pulls images from Docker Hub when you type `hyper pull`.

It supports volumes so that you can save persistent data in a volume.

What's the difference between existing VPS providers like DO?

I think the website states it well:"Say goodbye to VMs Unlike traditional IaaS where containers run in VMs, you will only work with containers in HYPER_. However, containers are protected by hardware-enforced isolation, meaning that they are as secure as a VM."
