Datafiles on Simulation/Servers

Help
1

If I create datafiles that a simulation uses, they have to be part of the simulation build, correct?

If I wanted to create a save state file for something that happened randomly and later access that at some unknown time in the future, there is no real mechanism to store that on the server is there? I am excluding cloud storage as it only lasts 1 hour and I need something much longer.

I am thinking I would need a file storage server someplace like an E3 on AWS. I assume outgoing ports are open, or there is some configuration in the cloud to allow that?

SO now I would need two cloud solutions, 1 for coherence, the other for AWS.

Humm, things to noodle on that for sure.

You are correct, right now to do any sort of permanent persistence you need your own solution. Simulators on a paid plan (e.g. not the free tier) have full access to the internet. So, you can use any solution you like to permanently store your data.
