Hi does anyone know if Liferay 7.0 GA3 can be deployed and run in AWS (Amazon Cloud). I build document management system using the Document Portlet and would like to know if the document Portlet and associate documents  can be used in Amazon Cloud. Can someone please advise.
Thanks

On AWS you may want to use the S3Store for the document library, a database running there, natively.  And an elasticsearch server. But other than that: That's it.
Do you run into any specific problems, or are you just asking if it can be done before you start exploring for yourself?

Hi Olaf,
Yes I was just asking before we migrate. My company is considering moving some our apps to AWS so I was considering moving my Liferay 7.0 CE GA3  application to  AWS. The application I built use the out of the box document library with some customization to the document portlet UI. It use the default folder to store all the documents. So, you suggest to use S3Store  VS S3 bucket in AWS?. Is the S3Store a filesystem or a DB? Also, how easy it is to configure this setup by moving from liferay defualt data folder?.
Thanks for your quick response much appreciated.

I'm not sure with regards to the "S3Store" vs "S3 bucket" question: If you look for Document Library storage options, you'll have the option to enable the S3Store. This will provide the storage location within an S3 bucket that you configure. It'll be stored in S3, not in a file system. Which is a good option if you're hosting in the cloud anyway and have an S3 bucket available - often a better option than a filesystem that you'd need to handle.
