[opensource-dev] Cloud-Based Sim Hosting, Dynamic Sim Scaling, & Storage

[Jonathan Irvin]

*This one is for the Lindens*

Ok, I've heard some rumors that Linden Labs is going to move to a more
cloud-based storage system for asset management (which excites me greatly)
to reduce asset-related errors, allow easier rollback, and greater
redundancy.

What I'm interested in knowing is that if LL is going to also persue this in
terms of dynamic sim scaling, perhaps even to a point of charging per
simulator hour versus a flat rate that you have to adjust as the technology
progresses (potentially this could be a Class 6 server).  The benefits of
Cloud-based operations are intense.  I would love to see LL utilise this as
an option to have either a cheap sim, the lowest echelon of the cloud server
structure, or even scale up to larger setups if you need it for more prim
allotment or user concurrency within that region.

Do we have any plans for stuff like this?

Thanks LL!
