I've meant to ask this for a while now ... why do people run multiple instances of ColdFusion?
I can see that one reason would be to run them in a development environment, and have different setups to match the client's differing environments, but is there any other reason?
Otherwise, wouldn't multiple instances of CFMX just consume more of the server's resources?
- Separate cf admin settings and passwords
- Start and stop apps independently
- Isolate unstable (ie. dev version)/untrusted apps in their own instance
- Cluster unstable apps that have to work across multiple instances
- Different CF versions at same time
- Merge your app and the CF app into a single zip, deploy with exactly the same settings etc as when you tested it.
- Separate CF server instance for each virtual host in your web server.
- In particular the ability to run dev versions of a site on the production machine with same hardware and OS without having to buy a second server license is very powerful.
