Summary
In some cases you may want to consolidate many small / low resource sites onto a single VM. It is possible to increase the resources that are used by a single VM making it cheaper to have a single larger VM than multiple smaller VMs.
Recommended Software
Name | Version |
|---|---|
PHP | 5.4.x |
php_apc | 3.1.x |
php_imagick | 3.1.0 |
mysql | 5.5.x |
Optional Software
Name | Version |
|---|---|
Python* | 2.7.x |
Coldfusion** | 10 |
Ruby | 1.9.3 |
Tends to not work well under "Shared Apache" you may need to create a few "Standalone Apache" instances for Python sites/applications. Coldfusion consumes a large amount of resources so you may want to combine multiple sites under a single instance or expand the amount of CPU/Memory on the VM.
VMs / Instances / Vhosts
The number of VMs will depend on how comfortable you are with putting multiple sites/applications together. You should group by technology/department/focus, etc...
