It is the first public 〔(Elastichosts Launches first KVM-based Cloud Service )〕 cloud service built on Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (rather than Xen), and it has an API that has been given a good review from a REST perspective.〔(Experiences of Interoperability across Cloud Infrastructures using OpenNebula )〕 It charges for resources (CPU, memory, disk and network) as separate entities, allowing customers to build virtual machines with widely different characteristics instead of simply categorized ones, such as small, medium and large instances.〔(Why Elastichosts cloud computing beats Amazon EC2 )〕 ElasticHosts (and therefore licensees) are supported directly by BoxGrinder included in Fedora 15 as of May 2011.〔http://boxgrinder.org/blog/2011/04/19/support-for-new-clouds-is-coming/〕〔http://boxgrinder.org/tutorials/boxgrinder-build-plugins/#ElasticHosts_Delivery_Plugin〕〔(BoxGrinder adds ElasticHosts support )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ElasticHosts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
