And, of course, OpenSuse and FreeBSD offerings
What about Upload your own temporary ISO? that might be asking for abuse though.

No cloud provider offers that that I know. It causes a lot of complications. It's a nice idea, but not ultimately very practical.

@AmanBhogal Does cloudatcost offer 2FA?
-
No, have not see any two factor authentication.

Bummer. Good thing to add to the wishlist
-
I agree, 2FA would be nice to have. Maybe just something simple like Google's 2FA system?
-
Not high on my list, but I would like to see that too. I agree to Google, I use that already and like it.
-
However, here is a concern. As a company user, not an individual, 2FA would break the ability for other members of my team to log in and use the service too. Before 2FA can be implemented I think that multiple user support has to be.

Why? as long as the 2FA is tied to your logon you should be fine.
Any reason they can't create multiple logons to the servers your company buys? -

Any reason they can't create multiple logons to the servers your company buys?Because 2FA only works for one user (normally.) If you have Google, Aladdin, SafeWord, RSA ID, etc. you have to physically have a device. If I have that with me and Art or Greg need access to the account.... what do we do?
Most cloud services don't offer multiple users, it's a problem. Rackspace is the same way and it is crippling. You have to use shared accounts for cloud access!!

You could create 2FA at the OS level in your cloud instance as you can add more users. They just wouldn't have access to the control panel

Wow, that sounds like a HUGE flaw! How do you know does what? In something as critical as cloud services to be without this basic security logging seems unthinkable!

Yes, except for the metal machines. That's one of my biggest complaints with Rackspace. The performance, price and easy of use are great.

The Static IP should stay the same even when re-imaging the instance.
-
@scottalanmiller you need authy.

Or at least give you the choice to either keep or change it.
-
Buying a perm IP address was an option, I thought that I saw. The changing IP address is part of the cloud nature of the service. In a pure cloud model, changing IP addresses isn't really an issue.
Although what is missing is a load balancer option.
-
Why can I not re-image a machine when it is shutdown? This makes no sense. If I am going to click re-image, I obviously do not care about the existing system. Why do I need to turn it on?
-
@JaredBusch that should be an easy thing for them to modify.
