How do you put a Database in the Cloud? (rackspacecloud.com)

People underestimate the pain of database administration. If I can get a ready-to-go database in seconds my life is so much better. My only grudge against RDS is that it doesn't scale up from 0. It adds at least $80/month to your regular server cost.


I browsed around and didn't see their hosted database solution. Is it listed, or just something you have to ask for after signing up for a server?


It's part of cloud sites.
