Plain old DigitalOcean Ubuntu machine here … and it’s exclusive for Discourse. Mostly went DO to get it closer in network toplogy than most of our other hardware and to reduce SPOF.

If I were starting over I’d probably look seriously at CoreOS, and I’m also interested in seeing how [https://sandstorm.io/](https://sandstorm.io/) will work with Discourse – could be very interesting & promising.
