Appfog announces shutdown of Rackspace option
We've worked hard here at AppFog HQ to give our users a variety of choices as to what cloud they host their apps on. Thanks to the AppFog platform, users have been able to host apps on five public infrastructures around the world and even more private datacenters for our enterprise customers.
While we believe this to be one of our main selling points, it's also become increasingly resource intensive to maintain so many instances of our infrastructure. So in an effort to keep our service affordable and reliable, we'll be discontinuing support of the Rackspace public cloud due to low adoption rates. We believe this will give us the focus we need to provide a world-class experience for the majority of our userbase on the AWS and HP clouds.
We will be turning off the rackspace infrastructure completely on Thursday, May 2nd. Additionally, as of today, you will no longer be able to create new applications on the Rackspace infrastructure.
