We don't support capturing a guest on a hypervisor on a dedicated server. @Andreas The use case you specify is supported - you can capture your dedicated server with cpanel and deploy it to a cloud instance. The licensing is handled. @Nadia We'd love to hear your feedback. @Ronny Sorry for the confusion. We currently support CentOS 5.x. Version 6 support should arrive in Q2. @Dan At this time you can only capture a dedicated server or cloud instance. We don’t support capturing a guest on a hypervisor on a dedicated server.

According to the announcement, "CentOS" is supported. Obviously there are many details which don't seem to be documented.

I have a dedicated server with SL and I d love to move it to CloudLayer. Flex image seems like the easiest way to migrate. I am charged some extra cost for cPanel today per month. Any issues you see with the above use case for flex? Are there any complications with cpanel licensing etc?
