Hi everyone, I’m planning to migrate my SQL Server database to this cloud provider. Our company recently had an issue with a different provider where write operations were locked because that cloud provider had a firewall (it was a separate device) and the logs of the firewall somehow affected the database server (the support team couldn’t provide more information). So, we had to request access to the firewall, delete the logs and restart the database.
My boss said that every VPS (or droplet) includes a firewall (like that cloud provider did) so I came here to ask if this could happen in this platform.
Here’s my question:
- Could something similar happen if I buy a Shared Droplet and use it as a database?
Extra information:
- That firewall was a separate device, and it was part of the cloud provider, that’s why we had to request access to that firewall to delete the logs.
- I believe it was the fault of that other cloud provider, but I still have to ask for completeness.
