Thanks, I didn't know about this & it looks pretty cool (http://www.joyentcloud.com/products/purpose-built-appliances/riak-smartmachine/ http://www.joyentcloud.com/products/purpose-built-appliances...). I wonder how adding nodes works - is it as simple as provisioning one and you're done, or does the user still have to configure the ring to add the new Riak node? The documentation says this: To grow your cluster, just add a machine of the same type and size and run the appropriate Riak commands to link the additional node to the cluster. To me, that means I'm still going to have to administer these machines, which is exactly what I'm hoping to avoid. Too bad about the cost, too :|
