[Building Sakai] Sakai in the cloud

[Mark J. Norton]

I have provided Sakai hosting using GoGrid (gogrid.com) to several of my 
clients.  As Aaron suggested, it's pretty straightforward once the 
instance has been created. The trick to cloud computing is to manage 
it's resources and up-time based on demand.  Amazon EC2 and most others 
(including GoGrid) provide tools to do this manually or programmatically.

One other thing that a cloud computing environment offers is the ability 
to scale automatically (provided you the scripts to add additional 
instances in place).  That's potentially a big deal if you expect to see 
big spikes in use.  It should be noted that using hosted cloud solutions 
tend to be more expensive than conventional hosted solutions.  Still, 
generally cheaper than hosting it in your own data center (taking total 
cost of ownership into account).
