About 7 years ago, the very first projects were moving to our cloud simply and effortlessly. Virtual machine images were uploaded to the FTP server, or they were brought on hard drives. Then, via a special import server, the VMs were loaded into the cloud. If it’s not an issue for the client to turn off the virtual machine for a day or two (or if there are no other options), then it can be done this way. But if downtime is necessary […]
The project developing the free automated circuit board design system KiCad has come under the wing of the Linux Foundation. Developers hope that growth under the Linux Foundation's aegis will attract additional resources for the project's development and provide the opportunity to develop new services that are not directly related to development. The Linux Foundation, as a neutral platform for interaction with manufacturers, will also help attract interest to the project […]

This is not an experience you can easily get with full-fledged virtual machines, and it speaks to the close […]
