Important: Couchbase clusters on mixed platforms are not supported. Specifically,
Couchbase Server on Mac OS X uses 64 vBuckets as opposed to the 1024 vBuckets used by
other platforms. Due to this difference, if you need to move data between a Mac OS X
cluster and a cluster hosted on another platform use cbbackup and
cbrestore.
Important: AWS (Amazon Web Services): An explanation of installation instructions for users who
want to use the Couchbase Server AMI (Amazon Machine Instances)
in a direct manner without RightScale is provided in the white paper
"NoSQL Database in the Cloud: Couchbase Server 2.0 on AWS" .
