CloudFlare's Railgun: Easier Than Ever??

Over the next few days we have a number of announcements regarding
CloudFlare's Railgun technology. We wanted to begin, however, with
what isin some ways the end: the ways in which you can take advantage
of Railgun yourself. Today we're proud to announce two ways in which
you can make your dynamic content faster than was ever possible
before.
Do It Yourself
First, today CloudFlare is announcing version 3.3.3 of Railgun. This
version hasbeen battle tested on high-traffic sites including Imgurand
4chan. It's run billions of requests in a number of different
environments through the new protocol and we're ready to push itout to
the world. To make the process of installing Railgun easy, we've
released RPMs for most the popular Linux and BSD variants including:
*.Ubuntu 12.10
*.Ubuntu 12.04
*.Ubuntu 11.10
*.Ubuntu 10.04
*.FreeBSD 9
*.FreeBSD 8
*.CentOS 6
*.CentOS 5
*.Debian 6
You can download any of these RPMs viathe CloudFlare Downloads page.
In addition, we've released an Amazon Machine Instance (AMI) for
Amazon WebServices that you can install if you want to have you own
Railgun listener. The AMI will be available soon via the AWS AMI
manager.
The largest platform we're missing is Windows Server and we are
working onupdates to the Go runtime in order to allow us to compile
for that platform and meet our quality standards. For the Windows
Server users out there, stay tuned. We haven't forgotten about you.
But Wait, There's More
But that's not the really exciting part. We're extremely excited to
announce that a majority of the world's leading hosting providers are
now supporting CloudFlare's Railgun technology. These 30 hosting
providers have already registered to be CloudFlare Optimized Hosts.
That means you can enable Railgun, usually with a single click and
without having to install any software or change any of your code.
Within the next few days, all of the following hosts will be
supporting CloudFlare's Railgun:
*. 040hosting
*. A2 Hosting
*. Arvixe
*. Bluehost
*. ByetHost
*. CoreCommerce
*. DreamHost
*. ELServer
*. FastDomain
*. GreenGeeks
*. HostPapa
*. HostMonster
*. Just Host
*. InterServer
*. MapleTime
*. (mt) Media Temple
*. MDDHosting
*. NameCheap
*. PacificHost
*. PRO ISP
*. SiteGround
*. Sliqua Enterprise Hosting
*. Softcloud Hosting
*. SparkRed
*. VentraIP
*. VEXXHOST
*. WebHostingBuzz
*. WebHostingPad
*. x10Hosting
*. Zuver
In most cases, if you're already hosted with one of these hosting
providers, getting the benefits of Railgun is free for you. If you're
using one of these hosts, look for an option in your control panel to
enable Railgun. If you're not already using one of these hosts, but
you want to use Railgun, you should either contact your hosting
provider to become a CloudFlare Optimized Partner, or consider
switching to one of the providers above.
Railgun is a revolutionary new protocol that makes dynamic web
performance significantly faster and less bandwidth-intensive than was
ever previously possible. Over the next few days, we'll be releasing
more details about the protocol. In the meantime, we wanted to make
sure you knew where you could go to get Railgun today if you're
interested. Stay tuned for more.
