Easy build-up/ tear-down cloud computing instance
This is follow-on question. I was very impressed with the experts responding to the last issue...
WIth diagram enclosed (hope you can read it), I would like file sharing/collaboration between any given pair of offices to be built "on-demand". Then when that session is complete, automatic tear-down of that file sharing instance. (I'm paranoid and don't like my data sitting in the cloud too long even if they guarantee protection.) For example, Office A wants to connect and share files and colloborate and all that with Office C. Either office can initiate. Then the "cloud" provides an encrypted link from each office to a virtual file server. Once the session is complete, which can be minutes or hours or days or weeks, that file server goes away as well as the office vpn connections to it. Process starts all over again once another pair of offices (or more than two) want to collaborate.
Who can do that?? And how do I get that service?

Thanks I'll look at them.
That was a typo on my part. It's Vyatta, not Zyatta. Sorry. Evern here of them?

That is exactly what I would like to try. Vyatta seems to be the only product that allows me to build on demand VPN links between offices. There is a free limited package that I could download. It appears from their website that it only works with Amazon??? I would also like to explore using it with Rackspace or another provider.
Do I need to be already subscribed to Amazon (or another given provider) to use these product or does that happen as part of using these products (Vyatta, Ylastic, Rightscale)?

Excellent. Thank you. I put in an email question to Vyatta and haven't heard back, but do you know if it is possible for any of those services to work across more than one platform? For example if I have one office where users are on Amazon and another office (actually a contractor's office in California) where they are on Rackspace or Terremark... I think probably not but just wondering...

Thank you.
I also found a company Zyatta that I think allows one to virtualize a network (virtual routers, virtual firewalls) build an on-demand secure connection between offices for data traffic. I'm wondering if you have experience with them.
Also wondering if there is an AWS CloudFormation-like prroduct available in Rackspace or TerreMark offerings.
