Editor's Notes
- Gear – allows you the freedom to do anything you need to without affecting anyone else or having restrictions placed on you Out of the box support for books-boris.apps.unc.edu which gives you access to SSL We recognize the need for boutique domain names (books.unc.edu) and support SSL for those by allow you to use your own SSL certificate
- Immediately you have access to 3 gears with the following specs Ability to use local or external databases You get all of this for FREE!
- The following language and database releases are available. New will be added as Red Hat integrates support Third party addons are supported by the software but for technical support will have to rely on community Please bear in mind that hosting sensitive data is currently not supported
- Basically anyone on campus who has the need to develop web applications
- You will conduct all your development at your workstation Git will be used to push your code changes out to your own gear on the cloudapps infrastructure We provide documentation on how to get started easily and quickly
- We want to make this as easily accessible for everyone as possible We want to be able to allow departments to better host their applications on cloudapps First wave of users have already brought some of the following suggestions to our attention
