Configuration and deployment
Overview
The best deployment option depends on your project’s specific requirements and constraints. Each option has advantages and considerations so that the optimal choice will vary based on scalability, cost, security, and maintenance needs.
-
Deploying instances
-
Implement loose coupling between instances for independent operation.
-
Consider scalability by connecting a single author instance to multiple public instances.
-
Increase flexibility by serving separate variations of content on different public instances.
For more, see Benefits of separate author and public instances.
-
-
Centralized data flow with instances running in separate virtual machines for more performance.
For more, see Centralized database server.
-
Clustered deployment
-
Ensure you fully control the virtual machines (VMs) in a cluster setup.
-
Avoid treating public instances as disposable with automatic up/down scaling based on load.
-
Ensure the amount of writing (JCR) data is not too high.
