Anyone can use any "logic" to defend their decisions. I'm sure you have other good reasons to use whatever products you're using but you've failed to mention any of those.
Sorry for the bother, hopefully you can help me clear something up. Is Cloud66 a tool that I can use to set up a blank VPS?
I _can_ configure my own VPS (DigitalOcean) but it's a pain in the ass and it's always different for every box.
I've looked into Chef and it seems half-assed where recipes work on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 but not on Ubuntu 12.10 x86, you see? Fixes some problems, but just gives me other problems.
I want something where I can check some boxes and say give me a PostgreSQL database with this master username-password.
Configuring nginx for me with this folder as the root website container and install ruby 2.0.0 and rails. My needs are basic, but it's odd that nothing out there exists like this. PHP has XAMPP which install everything you need.
