EC2 API so that you can easily migrate from EC2 to GreenQloud, or more easily run
a hybrid mixed cloud if you don't want to keep all your eggs in one basket.
eXist operates perfectly well in the GreenQloud environment, and if Earth-friendly
credentials are important to your business it is an excellent choice. Evolved Binary
Ltd is currently evaluating GreenQloud for its virtualized servers.
Digital Ocean
Digital Ocean is a relatively new cloud provider based in New York City. Apart from
services that offer great value for money when compared to Amazon EC2 and others,
it offers two features of particular interest for eXist users.
The first is that all of Digital Ocean's servers provide 100% Solid State Disk (SSD)
storage, which is great news for databases such as eXist where SSD can dramatically
improve performance when data is accessed from disk.
The second feature is Digital Ocean's built-in support for Docker . Docker is an appli‐
cation container technology , which means that any application, such as eXist, pack‐
aged via Docker can be deployed onto any physical, virtual, or cloud service that
supports Docker. Digital Ocean allows you to spin up new machines using Docker
applications. As there is also already support for Docker on Amazon EC2, it would be
really interesting to see a Docker container for eXist that could then be used to
deploy eXist to almost anywhere.
Getting Support
Even though you have an excellent book available on the topic, sometimes when
you're working with eXist—either as a developer, a system administrator, or some‐
where in between—you may need to seek additional support by asking a question,
reporting and getting a fix for a bug, or requesting help to understand a particular
feature. You have two main options for getting support with eXist: community or
commercial.
Whether you look to the community for support or seek some sort of commercial
support arrangement, when you're reporting problems or a bug, there are several
pieces of supporting information that you should consider submitting with your
request:
• Include the exact version of eXist that you are using—either the release version
number or, if you're using a version compiled from source code, the Git commit
revision number. You can obtain the Git revision by running the command git
show --summary -abbrev-commit .
• Indicate which operating system you are using, and the version, (e.g., Windows
XP Service Pack 3a). Also include whether the operating system is 32-bit or
