Confused, you self-host "in the cloud" without a third party involved? What does that mean? Are you not counting the party hosting your machine?
- ehutch79 5y agoThey're talking about running the db on a vm, setting it up and tuning it themselves. As opposed to a managed solution which is setup and tuned and hosted on a vm controlled by another company.
- dataflow 5y agoI'm still unclear on if the VM here is on a machine they own/on their own premises? Or is it under someone else's control? "In the cloud" sounded like the latter but it sounds like the intention was the former?

- eric4smith 5y agoIt means when you use the database service from AWS, they provision the machines and the replication and the database themselves. Whereas you can get a machine on AWS and setup the database yourself.
- s_fischer 5y agoThey are talking about renting a VM from a cloud provider and setting up the DB themselves (example: EC2) vs renting a fully managed DB from a cloud service provider (example: RDS).
- dataflow 5y agoBut if you're running on a VM from a cloud provider isn't your data still in the hands of a third party..??
