Hello everyone, Long time reader of the list, but first time poster. :-) Steve, K4SQI here. I've noticed there's been a lot more interest in this subject lately. So I figured I'd post my results. I've been running multiple AllStar Hubs/Nodes in the cloud for several months now. Using various configurations. 1 core 512 Meg memory, 1 gig memory, etc. They all work flawlessly. I've installed them on both Debian & Ubuntu. Used the repo's Steve, N4IRS has setup & compiled multiple instances directly from the github repo so I could test different things. My Primary AllStar Node 46626 is setup on one cloud server & is tied full time to my Digital Link system called the Carolina Link. 99% of that system is all cloud based thanks to the hard work of Steve, N4IRS & Mike, N4IRR and the BM Network. So my thanks goes out to them. I still have multiple nodes setup here on PI's/Odroid's for personal use, but personally for bigger hubs/nodes, I think the cloud is the way to go. Just my 0.02. :-) 73 de K4SQI!
