Hi Ben,
Just to clarify, DuraCloud is a hosted service which will allow you to push
content into various existing cloud storage providers and run services over
that content. (More information about DuraCloud can be found here:
http://duraspace.org/duracloud.php) We are working toward a way to allow
Fedora to push content into cloud storage through DuraCloud, but this will
still only be what Fedora currently stores on the local file system, objects
and managed datastreams. There isn't currently a way to ask Fedora to store
content to be used as external or redirected datastreams. Feel free to add
an item in Jira for this (http://fedora-commons.org/jira/browse/FCREPO) and
we can discuss it in an upcoming committer meeting.
