8 free virtual appliances you’ll love
These prebuilt LAMP, MEAN, ELK, WordPress, and other handy stacks amount to gain without pain for developers and admins
Despite the fact there’s no such thing as a free lunch, you can download the eight virtual appliances discussed in this article for free. That doesn’t mean you can use any of these in a high-end production environment, but it doesn’t mean you can’t, either. Some even have paid and supported versions should you choose to go that route.
Our collection includes the world’s most popular web application stacks, two blogging platforms, a NAS server, and ready-made servers for network and system monitoring, log search and reporting, and secure network access. We found most of these jewels in the VMware Solution Exchange and/or the Bitnami and TurnKey Linux websites. You’ll find there are a number of advantages to using the virtual appliances put together by Bitnami or TurnKey Linux, starting with excellent documentation, frequent updates, and one-click deployment to Amazon EC2 and (in the case of Bitnami) several other clouds.
