C.R.E.A.M. (part 1)
Monday, March 15, 2010
24x7x365 infrastructure tends to be a wash in the
cloud
Monday, March 15, 2010
However: Don’t Underestimate Opportunity Cost

Easy Savings Are In Traffic Patterns

Burstable = Inexpensive Surge Protection
Monday, March 15, 2010
•Honest clouds admit they have downtime. So will the others. Instances will fail, though not much more often than real servers.
•Performance can be impacted by other local activity.
•Virtual disks tend to have relatively poor I/O performance.
Cloud Caveats
Monday, March 15, 2010
•Accept the inevitability of failure.
•Embrace the paradigm of redundancy and rapid recovery.
•Develop architecture with modular, replaceable parts.
•Stay fast by minimizing disk/cpu utilization for menial tasks.
Solutions
Monday, March 15, 2010
•Monitor your load.
•Spin up more instances (scale horizontally) as you need more power.
•Add layers (scale vertically) as bottlenecks emerge.
•Create Images for each piece in your infrastructure.
•Best Practices To Stay Speedy
The Cloud in Production

Best Practices?C.R.E.A.M. (pt 2)
Monday, March 15, 2010
•Front-side caching: Use Pressflow with Varnish and/or NgineX.
•Opcode cache (APC) keeps your bits hot.
•Memcached helps to minimize queries to the database.
•Use dedicated, separately-scalable tools where possible, like ApacheSolr search.
•Architect for vertical scaling by utilizing all service layers, even if it’s one box.

Technical Info
Mercury is a standardized high performance stack for Drupal. It is available in source format, or (soon) as an on-demand service.
It utilizes the best available open-source technologies to make our favorite CMS very fast and to hold up under large spikes in traffic.
