Question

Amazon EC2 FMS version

Hello,

The current version of FMS available as an instance on Amazon Web Services EC2 is 4.0.3. This lacks the features introduced in FMS 4.5 for sharing peer introductions across multiple servers (unless I've missed something), which would, obviously, be very useful when using FMS in a scalable cloud environment.

Is there a concrete timescale available for when an update to the EC2 instance might be made available? This would greatly help us assess whether or not this is the right option for us in developing a massive P2P social application...

In the meantime, is there any advice available for distributing peer introduction in 4.0.3?

Many thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in EC2 4.5 instances. At this point, there are no plans to add 4.5 FMS instances on Amazon. It will happen, sometime soon definitely, but apologies, timelines cannot be provided.

Distributed peer introductions is a new feature added in 4.5 and hence not available in 4.0.x builds, nor I can think of any good workaround in that version.
