May depend upon what data you are storing - particularly customer data.
From the UK perspective I suspect that any data that might be deemed personal should not be stored on servers that are outside the UK. The fact that you know that foreign spies (NSA in the USA, in your instance) might well have direct access to the data only increases the imperative that one abides by local data protection laws and minimise the opportunities for 3rd parties to access the data.
It could be that a lot of "the cloud" is now completely broken for a very wide range of applications.
- girvo 13y agoAgreed, hence the question. We're dealing with peoples (volunteered, mind you) financial data, think something similar to Toshl or Mint.com -- because of that, I want to make sure it's done right! Seems like I may have to roll-my-own-cloud after all. VPS's setup within Australia to make sure that data never leaves our routes in the country... a pain, but one Beastly server should be able to handle the load we're expecting, at least on the web-app side. We've got a bit more lee-way with the data-crunching Clojure side I think... Now, what about Gitlab/Comms software? Is that easy to setup on AWS? How do startups run their own internal software? On a seperate server to their app, I hope.
