Hi all, To add on this, I’m seeing the same behavior on my systems (running as Azure VMs), for our lab scenarios:
* 20 students using RDP to Windows 2016 Server * Active sessions 7hours a day, with about 4h “active use” (standby online when trainers are presenting) * Azure VM Size: D2sv3 (Xeon E5-2673 2.4Ghz), 2 CPU / 8GB RAM / 4 SSD drives * Average load is about 20% CPU throughout the day, 3,7GB RAM FYI, this is a single VM setup with MariaDB and NGINX, running behind Azure Front Door SSL Gateway with WAF.

This is a question that's come up a few times. Mike's recommendation is that you "generally need 1 core and 2 GB for every 25 concurrent users at peak" (ref this thread: http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/Guacamole-System-Resource-requirements-for-better-performance-td5996.html). In the half-dozen installations I have this fits in with my experience too. As far as I'm aware no-one has expressed any contrary view. With regard to disk sizing, I generally run my installations as a VM with dynamic sizing up to ~20GB. Most use less than 3GB in practice. Network bandwidth is more difficult to determine, it will depend upon a number of factors around what it is your users are doing, and how you have things set up. There have been various discussions on this too; I suggest having a look at the mailing list referenced above as you may find someone with a use-case similar to yours. This thread may be helpful as a start: http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/Viewing-active-connections-while-using-user-mapping-xml-td7844.html#a7861 In general it's fair to say that Guacamole does a good job with compression, and bandwidth requirements are not too onerous.

What size/type of server(s) are you running this on and for how many concurrent connections? How much memory? How many and what types of CPU(s)? How much disk space? How much network bandwidth? What am I missing?
