Please help me with this. I need to configure a moodle for almost 3000 users. Most of them may be login at a time. I need to configure this in a remote server(locally) and also in Cloud. What will be the minimum hosting requirement & hardware requirement? I am unaware about hardware spec, no of servers, or load balancer and other requirements. All I know is I need to host moodle for 3000 simultaneous users. Need all the requirements mentioned before if someone can help?
This is a common question here. Pl. check the initial pointers given in the forum header, specifically https://docs.moodle.org/en/Performance_recommendations and https://docs.moodle.org/en/Performance_FAQ. Also read similar posts in the recent past.
Out of 3000 users, lets say concurrent would be 1500 (means fetching something at same time from database) which I would expect from a 30,000 user site to reach this much concurrency, but, for the sake of satisfaction of enough hardware resources that even all 3000 would be online at same time, you still wont be needing a load balancer for this setup. An Octa core CPU with 64GB Ram would be sufficient.
I couldn't understand the need of setting up two sites, technically its possible but will complicate the setup resulting in data corruption.
