HA environment for production
  • We are looking to build node-base servers and in order of systematizing I am wondering if anyone can state the optimum of system spec.

    E.g. 
    icecast node: 
     CPU: 2,5-3GHz
     MEM: 2GB
     NIC: 1-2GB
     HD: 0.5GB

    So I need it for the following components (I hope nothing missing):
    icecast=?
    liquidsoap=?
    postgres=?
    rabbitmq=?

    Your Answer is in the manual.http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/preparing-the-server/


    The recommended Airtime server platform is Debian 7.2 'wheezy'. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 'Precise Pangolin' is also supported. Users of other GNU/Linux distributions may be able to adapt these instructions to suit their needs.

    The server should have at least a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM, preferably 1GB RAM or more. If you are using a desktop environment and web browser directly on the server you should install at least 2GB RAM, to avoid swapping to disk.

    The Airtime installation does not use much disk space, but you should allow plenty of storage capacity for the Airtime library. A hot-swap RAID array is recommended for media storage, in case of disk failure. You should also consider a UPS or other battery-powered system to offer some protection against short-term power failures.

  • I am sorry, was not aware about that section in manual... my bad.

    Thank you very much! 

    Based on this I see I can use: 
    one node for DB and MQ, (we do use many other DBs)
    one (maybe with LB clustered) for Icecast & Liquidsop (as runtime env)
    Airtime and all web apps place at front-end node

    Looks like should stand...
