Choosing the Type

This article is released for AWS solution, SuiteCRM 7.11.15 on AWS. Elyxia Global Limited provides SuiteCRM in Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for AWS EC2 instances. These are all general purpose instances that are well-suited for a variety of purposes. When choosing an instance for use, pay close attention to the amount of RAM it comes with. The more web sites you intend to host, the more traffic the hosted web sites generate, the more RAM you will need.

  • If you are considering trying out, you can choose T2.micro. It provides sufficient resources for testing purposes.
  • If you handle small load, T2.micro should also be suitable.
  • A server used for medium traffic website should use a T2.medium or an M3.medium instance.
  • When choosing an instance for high traffic website, analyze the website’s traffic carefully. Servers with frequently accessed web sites may require up to 1GB RAM per website.
  • If you are not sure what instance to choose, we recommend using the M3.medium instance. It suits most users’ needs and is used for hosting most frequently.

Important Note: As per requested by AWS if you are choosing instance type u-12tb1.metal, u-18tb1.metal, u-24tb1.metal, u-6tb1.metal, u-9tb1.metal, please visit https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-available-amazon-ec2-high-memory-instances-with-6-9-and-12-tb-of-memory-perfect-for-sap-hana/   

Configuring SuiteCRM

When configuring an instance, you will be asked to configure the following options:

  • Instance type: choose the server configuration that best suits your needs. For the details on different types of instances, see Instance Types. However, we recommend instances with minimum 1 virtual CPUs and 1 GB memory in order to run smoothly on Linux CentOS 7.
  • Storage space: the default allocated storage size is 30 GB for Linux instances. You can specify the necessary storage size when launching a new instance or change it after deployment.
  • Security groups: a security group is created based on our recommended specifications. You can configure your own security group based on your requirements.
