Has anyone have tried deploying NPM in Azure or AWS?

tmanito

Our organization has this issue where our hardware resources can't scale fast as we need. So I'm thinking if we can deploy it in the likes of Azure or AWS. Has anyone have success in deploying NPM in the cloud? Thanks!

I was never on a project where we did it, but I heard through the grapevine that the last time one of my coworkers tested it out there were problems getting acceptable performance from cloud db offerings for the SQL side. This was a while back and I know I've seen announcements from the big cloud providers touting that they now offer even more powerful db instances so I'd expect one of faster SQL instances could work, but then you get into a question of cost efficiency. Azure SQL Database DTU Calculator Try using this dtu calculator on your instance of orion and you can get a sense of how much money it would cost each month to host it in the cloud.

Are you looking at setting up a company to provide network performance monitoring?

Your question sure did provoke me, as this would be quite expensive and require a lot of throughput ... it you have unlimited resources, then go for it! Windows Azure SQL is pretty awesome.

Try a demo!

I've not done it, and have read articles recommending starting using your in-house SW tools to monitor the cloud. The graduate to SW's cloud tools. We're looking at Pingdom for starters.

The SolarWinds Demo site runs in AWS so it can be done.

Ahhh, so that lends another datapoint to the idea that it's hard to get acceptable performance from it then

And has anyone tried standing up an instance on Google Cloud Platform?

What were your experiences?

Which platform do you prefer?
