<html>Hi All,<br /><br />Just a heads up, I have now created a new EC2 instance (Amazon jargon for a somewhat standard virtual machine) on our Amazon account (see `uccpass UCC/external/aws.amazon.com`).<br />This VM is running Debian 10, and is running in Amazon's Sydney datacentre.<br /><br />As discussed in yesterday's wheel meeting, I will be using this to experiment with hosting email - and possibly DNS - in the cloud, and will keep you updated as I progress.<br />For the time being, I have created an A record on our existing DNS named "cloud-mooneye", which resolves to the IP address of this VM, which is currently 3.106.59.128.<br />Additionally, I have pushed our wheel keys to it, so anyone on wheel should now be able to log into it by running `ssh -i <path-to-your-wheel-key> root@cloud-mooneye.ucc.asn.au`.<br /><br />Once I work out what packages to install for email and DNS stuff, and how to set them up, I'm considering experimenting with creating an NS record to delegate "cloud-mooneye.ucc.asn.au" or "cloud-test.ucc.asn.au" to this VM's DNS server, and letting it do the DNS resolution of the MX record and whatnot from there.<br />I may first try to just get mail going (SMTP, POP3, and IMAP) with an MX record just on mooneye for "cloud-mooneye.ucc.asn.au", however, and do the DNS tinkering later.<br /><br />Please let me know if you have any ideas, queries, concerns, or advice regarding this.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Dylan Hicks [333]</html>
