It seems like only a few weeks ago, we announced the inclusion of Ubuntu 8.04LTS (Hardy Heron) in Elastic Server. Now, Ubuntu 8.10, the Intrepid Ibex, joins its other operating system brethren (and sistren?) inside the bustling Elastic Server factory. This latest release brings along support for Amazon EC2 large, extra-large and high-CPU AMI formats, so if your servers call for more RAM and CPUs, we've got you covered.The beauty of the Elastic Server platform approach to custom stack creation is that users can easily point-and-click their way to the stack of their choice. Testing and deploying to the cloud has never been easier. Behold the simple interface for creating your custom stack.

To quickly locate Ubuntu-ready bundles, go to the Bundle Explorer and search for Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 8.04LTS. These tags indicate that the specific bundle has been tested and approved for use in your Elastic Server. If your favorite bundle isn't Ubuntu-ready yet, you can push your component to the top of the list by posting a request to our support forums (be sure to include a link to your bundle). We add new bundles on a regular basis and we even give props when we run across cool uses of the platform. See you in the factory!
