Too few sampled comments (12) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link CenturyLink Cloud's developer blog posts on practical topics such as running cron jobs in production, writing READMEs, and running containers, usually as references in threads about those topics.

HN discussionAre you using socket activation or something similar? I think there are really interesting use cases around that paradigm for packing services onto one host. Some blog posts I remember from when I was exploring this idea a few years ago: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/socket-activated-containers... https://www.ctl.io/developers/blog/post/running-drupal-in-li...

HN discussionThese guys here tried Docker with Mono on Linux, found it unstable , and announced they will wait for Core CRL to be "production-ready" to try it too: https://www.ctl.io/developers/blog/post/aspnet5linuxdocker The RC of Core CRL was on 18th November: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2015/11/18/announcing...

HN discussion> The CloudFoundry installation instructions alone makes me run away screaming. BOSH is getting some much-needed love right now for this reason. Incidentally, for long-running stateful services, BOSH is the right tool for the job. We use it for Cloud Foundry, MySQL and a bunch of others I don't recall right now. Anyhow. If you just want to see quickly if CF fits your needs, the place to go is Lattice[1], explicitly…

HN discussionLarge tech companies usually have a career ladder that describes the expectations that come with a particular job level / title. Most aren't published externally but they look something like this example: https://www.ctl.io/developers/blog/post/career-path-of-a-pro...

on “Let's Automate Let's Encrypt”It's amazing how many cloud providers there are. Here is another one to add to your 'They have a cloud?' list. CenturyLink: https://www.ctl.io/ . Note: I am in no way affiliated with them; I just heard they had a cloud a month ago so they are the newest addition to my 'They have a cloud?' list.

on “Cisco confirms it’s killing Intercloud public cloud in March 2017”I would recommend to write much more informative README file so your potential audience would know what to expect from this extension.

on “Introducing yakbak: Record and playback HTTP interactions in Node.js”I've started to use PaaS (Platform as a service) because it's way more convenient and reduces the headache of getting a simple blog up and running. VPSes are often difficult to harden and many of the recipes online for spinning up servers are not tried and tested and often leave gaping security holes in the installation. At least with PaaS these holes are patched because they are widely deployed on many machines and…

on “Ask HN: What hosting platform is everyone using these days?”Slightly concerning is that mysql is no longer built into v2, and their Databse-as-a-service is yet to get out of beta - https://www.ctl.io/dbaas/ "DBaaS Beta is not recommended for production environments" Will this be ready before V1 cutoff date?
