Hi folks,

I need to set up a cloud base installation for a EDB database and have it replicated from the a local network.

Any advice on which one is easier from a EDB perspective?

Mario

I doubt there is a difference. You'll be getting a standard Windows OS in a
virtual machine. On Azure you can open ports as needed, otherwise it is
locked down. But apart from that it's just Windows. Amazon have the same
from what I hear and see.

Thank you Matthew, I guess you're right.

Just looking for some tips and shared experience from fellow EDB developers...

For the time being, I'm going to try amazon....

I have used Amazon cloud for at least 4 years. It is a little fiddly to set up the first time, there is a lot of jargon (i.e. "elastic instances" ... what does that mean) in the amazon world, with little explanation.

I created 2 help files for my own benefit So I would be able to set up new servers as I needed them. I attach the first file here, and the second one in my next reply. The "Amazon Cloud Server Creation" deals with what you need to do within a Web-browser running an Amazon web-app. The second deals with opening Ports in windows.

Note that I have only ever used the smallest servers ( = "Micro") as even these are very good and quick using EDB Server for my purposes. There is a big cost increase as you move from "Micro" to the higher levels.

I attach my "how to" help files. It is a few years old so some minor issues may have changed. The main thing is opening the port within the Amazon web-interface AND opening the port within Windows on the server-instance.

Second attachment ... apologies for the repost above my prior reply!

Thank you very much Adam, I appreciate it.
