Has anyone setup DNN on an Amazon Cloud instance using the basic server config, that is using SQL Server Express?

I want to migrate a server I have to a mainstream cloud platform for as little cost as possible.  I am currently using Server 2003 and Standard SQL Server 2005

Thanks,

Dave

I have been talking with Microsoft as well and it looks like for $110 a month, you can get a fairly robust Windows Server / SQL Environment. using their Azure product.

10GB of server storage
10GB of SQL database
1.6 GHz single core
1.75 GB of RAM

Processing power and RAM is only used for your sites needs, not SQL.  So if you're like me, SQL is taking up most of the use of my server, both processing and memory usage.  The SQL resources don't come out of the above processor and RAM listed above.

There have been some discussions and blogs on this topic - have a look at this article

http://devconnections.com/updates/Las...

If gives a pretty good guide to the steps.  ---  Note:  i would strongly suggest you get hold of  3rd party caching provider unless you are planning on using dnn professional - the dnn community is NOT optimized for cloud / webfarm caching - have a look at this sort of option:

The DevConnections slides are very outdated and don't represent the current capability to run on Windows Azure.  The dnnazureaccelerator.codeplex.com project proves that you can run DNN on Windows Azure today.  This will only get better with the next version of the accelerator and DotNetNuke 6.0.

Thanks for the resources guys.  I am looking to move a single server with about 10 (6 DNN and 4 standard .NET) sites on it.  All with fairly low traffic in the whole scheme of things.  I don't yet need a web farm.

I didn't quite understand the slides from DNNConnections since they seem to say in bold you need a minimum HIGH CPU Medium instance, but they go onto to quote small instance products?

I don't really know why I would know any difference from remoting into my local machine (I never sit in front of it) to remoting into say an Azure instance?  Unless there is some distributive caching going on with cloud products on the provider side, even in a single server instance, I am not sure why caching would be any different for a single server install?

Is it not legit to think you can take a single local server and move it to a single cloud instance?
