AWS account for Ignite

[Dmitriy Setrakyan <ds...@apache.org>]

Does Amazon provide any AWS accounts for Apache? I would like to use it for
testing and benchmarking Ignite.

(If not, then I can ask GridGain to sponsor it)

The ASF won't accept a donation for a specific project.

However, as you note, it's perfectly fine for a project to use external
resources (for some things ... we've been through that!). I know that
there's a fair number of build slaves, both Jenkins and Buildbot, that
aren't managed by ASF Infra; I have one in my basement, for example,
WANdisco runs a Sparc machine for Subversion's Solaris tests, VisualSVN
maintains a Windows box for tests ... and so on.

So sure, if GridGain wants to give Ignite devs access to a VM for
testing, that's fine. This is equivalent to paying someone to write code
for Ignite. You just can't write it off and/or advertise it as a
"donation to the ASF".

As far as I know they don't. Also, I think ASF has issues with letting target
donations for the specific projects. But in this particular case I don't think
there's a problem as a 3rd party will simply _let_ a project to use some
external resources.

Perhaps other mentors can chime in on it as well? Thanks,

Better to ask this on general@; I don't know.

You can get Infra to set up a VM for this kind of thing, unless you
specifically need an AWS instance. And even then ... I know that Infra
uses AWS for some things, but I'm not sure if that's part of the
per-project infrastructure deal.
