Common Issues and Solutions for Dealing with Cloud Computing and VPS performance issues for Drupal

The bulk of Drupal hosting for clients that we deal with is on virtual servers, whether they are marketed as "cloud" or not. Many eventually have to move to dedicated servers because increased traffic or continually adding features that increase complexity and bloat.

But, there are often common issues that we see repeatedly that have solutions which can prolong the life of your current site's infrastructure.

We assume that your staff, or your hosting provider, have full access to the virtual servers, as well as the physical servers that run on them.

Drupal on a dedicated servers vs. Amazon AWS/EC2

With the "Cloud" being in vogue currently, we see a lot of clients asking for cloud solutions, mostly Amazon AWS. Sadly, this is normally done without really doing a proper evaluation into whether the cost is reasonable, or the technology is suitable for their specific needs.

Amazon AWS provides some unique and compelling features. Among those are: instant provisioning of virtual servers, billing for used resources only, ability to provision more instances on demand, a wide variety of instance types, and much more.
