Self-hosted Onestream in AWS

Hi,

I didn't see anything in the Install/Config guide or in the Onestream Community search, so I figured I'd just ask.
Is there documentation regarding installing a self-hosted OneStream setup into a cloud environment?
Particularly regarding the registration/addition of new server instances (consolidation,staging, web, etc) into the config files:
-- Web Server Configuration file\Application Servers
-- Application Server Configuration file\Server Sets

Between server lifecycle events and lambdas calls, I'm sure something can be hacked together, but just thought I'd confirm what is/isn't available.

Thanks!

    The only "cloud features" you can have are related to Azure. There is nothing AWS-specific, as far as OneStream is concerned it will be just another Windows Server on-premises environment.

    From your post, I guess you're looking for some sort of instance-scaling integration. At the moment, I'm not aware of any such feature available for on-premises setups. Happy hacking 👾

    Agree with DanielWillis .  We use Google Compute Engine (Google Cloud-based VMs).  Same install & setup as on-prem.  You'll want to use FQDNs so the usual added DNS records for that is an extra step.

    I'm not an infra guy but isn't a self hosted cloud env the same as a self-hosted non cloud env except you don't own the hardware?

    Yep, I was definitely referring to an Auto Scaling environment based off of dynamically set CPU & memory limits being surpassed to spin up a new instance, and then register that new server within the environment. It seems like it only becomes an issue during closing, at which point having a new instance spin up might help.

    But no worries, you've all confirmed what we thought. A "hacking" we will go 🙂

    Thanks much!
