Hi Michael, If you're trying to optimize over the # of instances, I would lean away from the official production-ready recommendations in the docs, and do more of what Dave suggested. Something like this:
+-----------+-----+ | Component | VM | +-----------+-----+ | TO | VM1 | | TODB | VM1 | | TV | VM1 | | TM | VM1 | | TS | -- | | Influx | -- | | TR | VM2 | | ATS-EDGE | VM3 | | ATS-MID | VM4 | | TP | -- | +-----------+-----+ The ones with "--" can be added later, if you require that functionality. Most of the components should have adequate installation documentation, but reply back the list, or find us on Slack (traffic-control-cdn.slack.com) if you get stuck.
