Cirrus Hosting Announces CentOS 7 And Ubuntu Server 14.04 VPS And Cloud Hosting Plans(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Toronto, ON (PRWEB) August 27, 2014 Cirrus Hosting, a leading provider of VPS hosting and cloud hosting, has announced the introduction of virtual private server and cloud server hosting plans based on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and CentOS 7, which bring many new features and enhancements to Cirrus Hosting's powerful and flexible Canadian hosting platform. CentOS 7 and Ubuntu Server 14.04 incorporate several powerful new features that have been recently added to the Linux kernel and numerous application updates. Both operating systems now include support for LXC and Linux Containers, the system-level virtualization method which allows for the running of multiple isolated Linux environments on a single host. Linux Container support enables the use of Docker and other systems that allow developers to build, ship, and run applications in portable environments. "Both CentOS 7 and Ubuntu Server 14.04 include exciting new features that improve the efficiency, productivity, and flexibility of our hosting platform," commented Cirrus President and CEO Ali Mirdamadi. "LXC support in particular will be a welcome addition for developers. Containers enable developers to move applications smoothly from development and testing environments into production on Cirrus Hosting servers." Other highlights of Ubuntu Server 14.04, a long-term support release also known as Trusty Tahir, include Python 3.4, Puppet 3, a major version upgrade for the Apache web server which moves from version 2.2 to version 2.4, and PHP 5.5. Major changes to CentOS 7 include in-place upgrades from CentOS 6.5, XFS as the default filesystem, and LVM snapshots. Both operating systems also benefit from numerous updates to core applications and libraries.
