A little while later support got back to me and told me that it was that my version of drush 7.x-4.5 does not support remote sql-dump. After professional and timely support from Acquia I was informed that the problem was reproducible. I tried to use drush sql-dump, and it gave errors. I don't know if there is a dashboard option for this, if so it isn't accessible. The experience was pretty smooth other than the fact that I had troubles getting a database dump. One annoyance that I experience was that the link to switch from svn to git was completely inaccessible to me using the JAWS 13 screen-reader with Firefox 9, I had to have someone else find and click it for me. ![]() The dashboard was a bit daunting at first, but that is to be expected with a new environment. Along with the Acquia network subscription you need to choose a hardware (AWS EC2) configuration, I chose the minimum option, at $65 / month. If you're choosing the $99 / month Developer Acquia network subscription this also includes $44 off your first month with, making it only $1. I was impressed initially with Acquia dev cloud's sign-up, that there is a free 30 day trial, with no credit card information required. *** End spoiler alert *** Acquia Dev Cloud Neither of the services UIs is horrible for accessibility (from a screen-reader user's perspective) and other than what is mentioned below I didn't run into anything that I simply could not do on either service. The one thing I will say up front is that the pricing page for each service has serious accessibility problems. The following is far less of a comparison than it is a brief synopsis of my experience with each. I've gotten busy recently, and wanted an opportunity to look at both Acquia Dev Cloud and Pantheon for Drupal hosting. This is a fully self-managed stack and I didn't mind this, it's nice to keep my system administration skills fresh (or a little less rusty). ![]() Until recently i was hosting my site on the AWS free-tier micro instance.
