Enhancement suggestion: Cloud support

[udf2457]

Hi,

I realise its a possibly little "easier said than done" in terms of complexity. But in terms of enhancing the replication capability of chronicle, it might be nice to see cloud support.

Support for "cheap & simple" variants such as AWS Dynamo or Azure Tables could provide a nice replication option.

What do you want specifically in terms of cloud support?

Are you asking us to sign business agreements that allow us to upload "official" AMIs to these cloud providers so people can deploy their own Chronicle instances? Or is there a technical solution you have in mind instead?

I meant as an alternative "database".

i.e. at the moment you provide MySQL, Postgres and SQLite.

You can of course use Postgres & MySQL "off-the-shelf" on Azure and AWS but they are quite expensive in terms of monthly fees.

Azure & AWS offer cheaper options which might be better suited for achieving additional replicas.

I'm certainly not suggesting AMIs. Deploying VM images for something as clean and and simple a concept as chronicle seems a bit overkill !

Hope this helps clarify.
