Hi sherly, Now you can now choose whether to test Stackato, our cloud platform for creating a private Platform as a Service, on a micro cloud (VM) or with the new Stackato Sandbox! The Stackato Sandbox service makes it easier for you to test deployment of your Perl apps to a privately hosted environment on Amazon EC2, complete with hosting, security, and scaling of applications. The Stackato Sandbox1 lets you experience: Deployment to the cloud (hosted on Amazon EC2) Scaling: scale the number of instances and memory allocation Enhanced multi-tenant security model: each application in its own LXC container Stackato Beta testers can now use the Stackato Sandbox to try running a private PaaS on Amazon EC2  for up to three months.2 Signup for the Stackato Beta. Once you've been accepted to the program, login to the Stackato Beta community, redeem your Beta invite code, and request access to the Sandbox. When free space is available in the Sandbox, you will be granted access. Remember, Stackato makes deploying new or migrating existing Perl apps to the cloud quick and easy. Try the Stackato Sandbox today and you could win! To celebrate the Stackato Sandbox launch, we're giving away a $1000 trip to a sunny destination3. Life really is a beach! We hope you'll take advantage of this great opportunity to try the Stackato Sandbox, send us your feedback, and win. The Stackato Team ActiveState Software   The nitty gritty details can be found here: 1  Access to the Sandbox is subject to space availability, and users will gain access in order of requests received. Beta testers requesting access will be placed in a queue and notified when space becomes available. For testing purposes; not to be used for production. At end of your three month Sandbox term, all Sandbox containers will be deleted entirely with no mechanism to restore any of the contents. 2 The three month access period begins as soon as the automated acceptance notification email is sent; users will receive notice when their trial ends via email as well. Find out more about the Sandbox. 3 "Life's a Beach" contest details can be found on our site.
