Hi there guys. I thought I’d throw in my 2 cents in on this. I am using an AWS 
EC2 instance. From my understand all instances are behind NAT which as a result 
requires a Turnserver. In one of my previous emails I described the approach I 
took (check the OM user forum). I am using my phone to write this email... so 
as you can imagine searching, copying and pasting a link to the actual message 
would be a little cumbersome... but the subject of the email is “Suggested AWS 
EC2 setup - OM 5.0.0 M3 / Ubuntu 18.04”. For the moment the instance I am 
running is as follows:

LAMP image (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP setup). My AWS Setup is as follows:
Instance type: t3a.large (8 gigs Ram , 2 vCPUS), I was previously using a 
t3a.medium (4 gigs Ram , 2 vCPUS)… which seemed to run okay… but needed to 
elimate any doubts I had by cranking up the RAM. Some of you may decide to go 
for lower or higher instances depending on your budget and desired performance 
levels etc.

For reference this instance is costing me about $50 dollars. But would be a lot 
cheaper if I didn’t use AWS’s Route 52 (domain to designated IP address).

I had run everything on a free tier a couple of years back but document 
conversion was slow and often crashed.

I have been and a couple of my guys have been running simultaneous classes over 
the last few weeks and generally speaking everything has been fine. A few 
browser issues as mentioned in a previous email... but it is important to state 
I am using OM M3, which I will update and configure at the weekend. Some 
classes we 1hr 30 mins, some 5 hours on a Saturday. Average meeting 5 - 8 
people. 

My short to long term plan would be to set up a “clustering” model which was 
discussed in the forum a few weeks back, maybe longer... having the database in 
one AWS “bucket” and several other instances.

I would be happy to help out in any way regarding load testing. I’ll be honest 
I’d be hard fetched to ask my students to participate... but I have about 5 
computers at home since I’ve been in quarantine and happy to participate where 
as Maxim stated... 4 can participate on a “silent” basis. Given the amount of 
people in the group... I’d say a “call for action” email to all the users will 
be received well and more people might be able to help with a load test as 
Sebastian mentioned.

Either way, I’m here to help in any way.

I’ve been out of the loop for the last few weeks but, again, if there is any 
way I can continue to help in any way I will.

All the best, Denis.
