Just FYI, this is not "by Moodle", it's some PR from a company that sells a product called Digital Chalk. As far as I know they aren't involved in Moodle development in any way.

Martin,

I'm curious if the model being used by Digital Chalk is one you support?  I've been thinking of starting a similar type of business. Do I need to be a Moodle Partner or sign up in any way to host Moodle alongside other educational components?

Hi,

Setting up images on AWS is deliberately easy - that's Amazon's big selling point.

Digital Chalk aren't the only ones offering preconfigured Moodle combos on AWS: http://bitnami.org/stack/moodle

Looks like Moodle's gonna get a lot cheaper to run! smile
