  • Interesting.  Does anyone know if it's possible to automate shifting from a large to a small instance between 18:00 and 6:00, for example?

    Cheers - Bob
  • It's not a built in capability of the UTM, but if you are knowledgeable in AWS and scripting, it can be done just that way.
  • Yeah, I guess my question goes to cost-effectiveness and practicality.  Trying to position this approach compared to on-site hosting.

    So, we know that there's no licensing issue involved that prevents firing up an image first in a larger instance and then later in a smaller one?

    Switch-over time: Is it possible to do Hot-Standby with instances of different sizes in order to minimize the downtime involved in switching between the sizes?  I'm fairly certain that it's not possible to add/remove processors or RAM in a running instance.

    Cheers - Bob
