So integrating with VPS providers such as Linode and Digital Ocean will be possible? If so, would this be easy to do for end-users?

Never got in to Cloud Foundry because it's overly complex and very limiting. Always went with Heroku, but wished I could have a Heroku-style infrastructure on the above mentioned VPS providers for the benefits of running better hardware, being more affordable, being multi-region, etc, etc.

Docker runs on linode and digital ocean (https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/469, https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/424) by loading a custom kernel. Assuming the requirements for Flynn aren't much more than Docker, the whole stack should run there as well. Easy for end-users is probably a matter of opinion, especially until Flynn releases some code.

Here are notes on getting Docker running on

Digital Ocean: http://kencochrane.net/blog/2013/06/running-docker-on-digita...

Rackspace: http://kencochrane.net/blog/2013/05/running-docker-on-racksp...

Linode: http://stinemat.es (site seems to be down at the moment)

Very cool. Thanks for the info!

Well I know deltacloud at least has Digital Ocean integration: http://deltacloud.apache.org/drivers.html#drivers

Don't see Linode listed there, but between that or Jclouds (http://jclouds.incubator.apache.org/documentation/reference/...) you have like a billion cloud API's available to you. I imagine teaming one/both would make Flynn a very interesting alternative to Cloud Foundry/etc.

Yes, there's no reason this can't run on VPS providers. Some have APIs for provisioning, so hooking them up for automated deployment is not complex either.

Neat! These two in particular both have an API for provisioning.
