FileMaker Cloud Update

FileMaker announced that they have released an update to their new FileMaker Cloud offering.

The two elements of this update include:
1. Offering three additional AWS Regions including Canada, Sydney, and Tokyo.
2. The ability to renew the 90-day trial Comodo SSL certificates through the FileMaker Store for 1-, 2-, and 3-year terms, using the initial host name and the filemaker-cloud.com domain.

The second item on this list is huge, as the process of updating SSL certificates has been a very convoluted process, and we have spoken with clients who find it very confusing. Even those with dedicated IT support have had to wrestle through it. So this is a most welcome improvement!

FM Cloud is still basically a 1.0 offering so these updates are welcome as they move it to a more mature offering.
