So... you're the same guy as OP?

Do you get paid hourly then as a virtual CTO? Also, what are the upsides of having a virtual cto versus an on-location guy?

Are you looking for someone to select the tools and the way those tools work together to meet your goals? Then they might not want to see an already built product.

That pretty much nails it for me... So, if that's the case, what do you think my best course of action would be to find a dev ops guy?

Hmm... what's the best place to meet technical advisors? Are these just friends, or would they want some form of compensation, assuming they just advice and don't have to stand in as CTO, maybe just do interviews...

Hmm... I guess it could check, and if it's down, automatically check again in 5 mins to confirm. Or, you could turn it off at certain times, such as 9 pm to 6 am lets say...
