Is this the beginning of mini self-hosted clouds where the orchestration happens in a web UI but the compute/storage is local? Like a cheap version of Azure Stack? I get that you can’t keep the snowcone, but if you could, it would be a little VM host with local storage on your LAN that could let you run everything internal.
- ceejayoz 6y agoIt looks like you can keep the Snowcone. One of the screenshots offers this option: > "Perform local compute and storage workloads, without transferring data. You can order multiple devices in a cluster for increased durability and storage capacity."
- wmf 6y agoAt $6/day it's fairly expensive for non-temporary workloads.

- notatoad 6y agoI'm guessing the devices marked as lost don't continue to function (at least not once they connect to the internet again)
- jon-wood 6y agoThey have a pricing example for this use case which includes the following caveat: > First, you should contact AWS Sales to discuss private pricing for the long-term AWS Snowcone deployment
- jjeaff 6y agoI can't imagine that becoming more popular than just a drobo style device that runs its own software. Seems ridiculous to make your local hardware dependent on the cloud. (obviously this is common for iot devices but it seems that anything like this for enterprise or prosumer doesn't usually fly.
