 Replying to [comment:2 runa]:
 > It sounds like running a relay in the cloud is going to be too
 expensive. I do agree that we should look into just how much a cloud relay
 can push per week before becoming crazy expensive, though.

 That sounds like it wants a new ticket (this time in the Tor Cloud
 component).

 Is your question about how much bandwidth a useful/average relay pushes
 per week answered?  If so, can you close this ticket?

 > As for development effort; creating and maintaining cloud relay images
 will not require a lot of time, so this will not block anything.

 But it will require ''some'' time.  It's yet another product that will
 make people unhappy when we decide we're lacking the time to maintain it.
 If people ask why there's no cloud relay image, let's tell them the
 expected bandwidth cost per week and they'll understand.
