Workspace Aspera Ideas
Created by Guest
Created on Sep 1, 2022

Update applications to support SaaS Databases

Many customers (us included) are today heavily relying on native cloud services such as RDS, Azure MySQL etc.

With current Aspera implementations it is not possible to use any of the Aspera products together with RDS or Azure MySQL (maybe Faspex with RDS is possible).

Aspera common package uses MySQL version 5.6. which is has been EOL since 2021!

Also there is many unnecessary checks that Aspera software datasbases require root-access to database instance, which is straight from the nightmare of Security minded people.

So please upgrade the software so that we can just create faspex/orchestrator/console/shares database to SaaS database and just define the credentials to that specific database for the Aspera application.
