Cloud Performance Observations

[ejsolutions]

Latest bulletin.
Centos 6 templates running on two VMs:
1. cPanel, Apache, mySQL, exim etc.
Consuming ~480 out of 512Mb RAM (according to Client Area VM List)
2. Webmin & mySQL
Consuming ~ 256 out of 512Mb RAM

Initial response time from the main (1) server is a tad slow, though other factors may be affecting this. Example: cPanel File Manager was tedious in trying to open directory listings, however once done, editing a file was speedy enough.
First impressions is that C6 is better on a low end VM but it is early days to give a categorical thumb up on this.
Rishi has been kind enough to setup another VLAN and hopefully I'll get time to put it through its' paces, when doing further osCmax development work.

I'm pleased to say that there has been an improvement in operability of eNlight, on lower spec. VMs. Response time to both web pages and cPanel requests are much more in keeping with other environments. I'm managing to do PHP development and nearly the same pace as on a VMWare platform - no mean feat.
There has been a somewhat strange pattern to swap space usage, which is tweakable, though I haven't go around to it (other priorities). See the attachment.

I believe that there is now a third iteration of the eNlight template (you busy lot, you) and I'm keen to find time to migrate over to it. Keep up the great work!

Hi EJ,

Thanks for your patience. BTW you are the culprit to keep us busy
We made some changes in storage which are now giving good result. It will improve further in next few days.

Keep up your good work and let us know if you need any further assistance

[ejsolutions]

.. you are the culprit to keep us busy ..

It's super that I'm keeping you in a job.

Thanks for your updates EJ.

And I think you are the reason that Rishi probably doesn't get lunch these days ...... lol.

Haven't heard anything in a few days. I just hope that the poor laddie ain't huddled in a corner restricted by a straight jacket!
[Must go check and see if the template has been updated recently.]

Haha, he's probably sleeping to recover from his recent workload lol.

Hi Guys, was busy in making new cluster live.. I hate the "Sold Out"
The first one got filled very fast (avg. 2.3 VMs/customer) not allowing me to be ready for next..

By the way hows testing going EJ ?? And David, I want you as first customer on new cluster

... By the way hows testing going EJ ??...

I burnt m'self out with file compares/coding; needed a wee break for a day or two. So, been looking at vmware & client 'stuff'. I should be back on track soon....
You guys have pulled off some miracle with I/O wait times, substantially improving server Load. Also, I've been waiting patiently for the 10Gb template adjustment, prior to redoing the mySQL VM.

Hey Rishi,

Sounds like you've been extremely busy!! And yes, I feel like I have been missing out on eNlight now for too long!!! I think its time for me to jump on board. I eagerly await the new cluster . And I would love to be the first customer on the new cluster .

You've spent so much time giving Rishi work that it has tired you out also . lol.

Nice to hear that improvements are still being made as well. It's all looking good for eUKhosts next eNlight customer (aka me!) .
