      Opps. I got a Amazon VPC not a standard linux VM. Is this a problem? 😞

      Well they are completely different things. One is a the start of a private cloud without any VMs. The other is a VM. So they overlap in no way. Having a VPC isn't bad, but it won't do anything until you add VMs to it.

          It's a network without VMs. There is no place to install anything. A VPC does nothing on its own. It's just a place to "collect" VMs. You still need the VMs.

            So if he keeps is and all he wants is a single small VM, then he's paying for something (VPC) he doesn't need, right?

                Yeah, the VPC does nothing on its own. It's like having a VLAN but no switch yet 🙂

                      Yup, crazy numbers of people. It's one of the most popular distros for enterprise workloads. I've used it a lot.

                      See answer above 😉

                          More or less, but very lean and without SystemD (yet).
