There are other cloud providers such as Rackspace (no affiliation) that do support multicast:

https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/public-cloud-forum/3946/multicast-support-in-cloud-server---ubuntu-apache-tomcat <https://community.rackspace.com/products/f/public-cloud-forum/3946/multicast-support-in-cloud-server---ubuntu-apache-tomcat>

That doesn’t help if you don’t want to migrate to a new provider but maybe you have access to other providers that do support multicast.
