I am experimenting with cloud computing.
A client of mine who is currently using a Microsoft SQL Server based
application, wishes to have the SQL Server database in the cloud so it
can be accessible by all his company's branches.
I would like to know if Amazon is offering SQL Server as a service. I am
aware that if you contract a Virtual Machine with SQL Server inside you
would have the problem solved, but I wonder if it is possible to use SQL
Server without the need to have a VM as well
In the case of Google Cloud Computing, you must have a virtual machine
and SQL Server inside
I have tried Azure and I've seen that they offer SQL Server as a
service, but if you want to get in a single select statement data from
two different databases, that is not possible, unless you try a
convoluted solution that I got from the web and that would involve
modifying my application code a lot. This I will not do (the client
won't pay for the time involved in reprogramming)
OTOH, the information provided in any of those sites is so huge and
confusing, that I do not know what to choose, where to look and......too
much for this old programmer.
Can anybody enlighten me, please?
Remember, I am looking for a simple SQL Server as a service solution,
without the need to get a VM as well. Is this possible?
