Can I run different Distros in containers or just the same as the host?
You can run different distros. But I think you need to match systemd and init between host and container though.
-
@johnhooks tar. I assume rsync would work too?

I think you have to stop the container to do that. Ya rsync works also.

How would check that? I am a huge CentOS7 fan

@johnhooks should be super easy to write a script to stop containers, tar them and start them again.

I know Ubuntu 15.10 is systemd, CentOS 7 is also systemd. So if you run a CentOS 7 host you can run Ubuntu 15.10 containers (what I'm doing for my XO container).

ya. I use Ansible, but you can script it also.

I will be using Ubuntu as the host. CentOS7 as the guest

You could always start with CentOS 7 for containers rather than building them on Ubuntu.

@scottalanmiller Scaleway only offers Ubuntu
-
Would you use Scaleway?
For a 2G VM on Vultr I can get 32GB on Scaleway.....

I would start out with their starter server for $2.99 a month and see how the interface and reliability is before you commit to a big project.

Dont really have experience with them. So I can't say one way or the other. For month to month pricing, no reason not to try them out.
-
If these are physical boxes, the month-to-month pricing is similar to what I'm paying at another provider for bare metal, but I get 1TB of HDD as opposed to SSD.

This was insanley affordale - I used to run cc2.8xlarge aws instances for hours and it cost me fractions of a penny.
RAM, ECU, Cores, Storage, Bandwith 60.5, 88, 32, 3360GB, 10Gbit/s

I've been using Scaleway since they announced the C1 beta platform. I recently tested the new offerings and they all run on Avoton processors - the Atom C2750, to be exact. Disk speed was a bit underwhelming, but I think they use "shared" disks.
Another company that I would recommend for @aaronstuder is impactvps.com, they are running a 50% off sale on their "resource pools". Check out today's post on lowendbox: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/78146/impact-vps-1-year-anniversery-special-50-off-now-with-3-locations-in-a-single-package#latest
You could build 20 VM's with 512mb ram each for $30/month; that's $1.50 per VM

@papercape Thanks!
