It has all the features you&rsquo;d expect from such a platform, and can instantiate pretty much any major <em>GNU/Linux</em> distribution you&rsquo;d think of; but here&rsquo;s the thing, we also use <a href="http://www.NetBSD.org/">NetBSD</a> for some infrastructure services, and as you&rsquo;d guess, there&rsquo;s no <em>NetBSD</em> support at all on <em>SoftLayer</em>.</p> <p>I had to reverse some bits of their provisioning system to understand how to achieve <em>NetBSD</em> installation, but most of all, automatic provisioning.</p>
