That was my initial plan but never had time to deep dive into it !
I started some research about such a thing but didn't find how to make it happen with OVH Public Cloud.

Any help to make the OSMBE tileserver work more efficiently is more than welcome.
Maybe we could partner up to make such a thing happen.
If you have any idea to make it work more efficiently or improve/simplify the update process we can meet to talk about it :)
