Free Cloud Storage to host MS Sql

Question

Are there any free cloud storages such as Amazon cloud, google cloud, etc.. that would allow me to host live ms sql databases on. I guess in better words, is there such thing as a free 3rd party type software like Azure? And then with that I would use it in Visual Studio for applications. Thanks for any tips :)

Answer 1

you cannot host MS SQL on Amazon, google or Microsoft storage. To run MS SQL server on cloud - you have folllowing options:

1. Run it on Azure VM roles
2. Run it as Windows Azure SQL Database
3. Run it on Amazon RDS
4. Run it on AMAZON VM's
5. And on other IaaS/DBaaS

Although, each option that I mention has free tier - they are not free if you go above free tier.
