How do people deploy FDB to the cloud? Is it possible to deploy it without EBS to take advantage of cheaper VM temporary storage?



Yes I would think so. FDB is distributed by default and the cluster is very easy to setup. As long as you have sufficient number of VMs in a cluster, the loss of a single vm or disk will not matter as you can spin up a new VM to join the cluster. On AWS, you can set up members of the cluster in different availability zones in the same region .. so the outage of on zone will not impact your database.

I am running this set up in my dev (personal) environment on AWS.


I won’t do that for production. Regional failure is not impossible although it is rare. You will lose all of your data.
