CoTech Gathering 2018: Shared Hosting and Infrastructure

Would it be worth the co-ops that are providing hosting services posting a summary of what physical and virtual servers they are currently running to this thread?

We have kicked this around a few times (two years ago on Loomio and the wiki and last year on the wiki and on here and earlier this year on here) and I think we have the same issues with OpenStack and OpenShift etc:

  • Time / money to be able to learn how to deploy and maintain these stacks of tools
  • Hardware / money for hardware to run the infrastructure on
  • Front end / money to develop a front end for client metering and billing

It’s hard to see how we can get something like this rolling without a fair amount of cash…

Would it be worth people who know of specific needs, that can’t be met by the co-ops which are currently doing hosting, to post the rough requirements here?
