Will I be able to write web applications that can connect with MS SQL Server Web Edition running with Windows Server Standard 2012-2016 in a cloud server?

Hmm...I see that with Microsoft Cloud OS, I can also install a desktop Oracle database into it, like a VPS.

I guess my question also applies to the Oracle database.

No. Well, not without adding some sort of web front end to it to provide an HTTP API. Once you do that, yes, of course. Plenty of options for the server. Myself, if you are starting from scratch, I'd seriously look at Azure Functions, as they cost little. You need to architect things carefully though. Otherwise a VM running any sort of Delphi or .Net server will do.

You mean I cannot run the EWB application that is installed in the cloud server to talk to the EWB server even when the EWB server is running in it?

I was running a trial of the Microsoft Cloud OS and it seems to be using standalone VMs. It has to be a VM because the vendor said that I could install any desktop application in it. If that is the case, I could run EWB server on it and I should be able to also run the EWB application to talk to the EWB server, assuming my browser can see the VM.

No, I don't mean that because that isn't what you asked. If you are asking if you can run the EWB server in a cloud virtual machine, the answer is very much yes.

Frederick,

If it's using Intel processors and running Windows, then yes, you can run the EWB Web Server on the machine.

As for the EWB web applications that run in the browser, those can be served up from any web server running on any operating system in the world.

My bad. After I posted the message, I tried the cloud server and realised that it was actually creating VMs. That would mean that it was like a Windows computer and it should technically run anything that runs on my computer.

Tim,

The cloud server is creating a VM that runs MS Windows Server 2012 or 2016. I guess I can run EWB web server there.

I haven't used a cloud server before and that's why I was not sure. I'll give it a spin since I have a trial of the cloud server for a week.
