*Rescheduled* Drupal NoVa Meetup - Auto Scaling Drupal in a Cloud Environment

This has been rescheduled for 2/24 due to the weather.

Our regular meetup is the third Tuesday of every month - currently rotating between ICF and Bixal in Fairfax.

Prajwala Manchikatla will be presenting on Auto Scaling Drupal in a Cloud environment.

The biggest advantage of moving to a cloud based infrastructure is to make scaling easier and have the ability to add and remove capacity depending on organization’s needs. Additionally, this can happen without direct intervention as much as possible. Auto Scaling can enable automatic increases in the number of server instances during demand spikes to maintain performance and decrease capacity during lulls to reduce costs.

Drupal applications need to be architected well to support Auto Scaling. In this presentation Prajwala will discuss various settings, to-do’s, best-practices et al to have a successful Drupal site configured for Auto Scaling. She will also go beyond AWS and discuss this from a generic cloud service perspective.
