Setup a ProjectServer in msg.Cloud
About msg.Cloud
msg.Cloud is a private IaaS cloud offered to all units of msg systems ag. Setting up a virtual server is easily done through a web interface. Servers can be exposed to the Internet equipped with a DNS name of the kind hostname.unit.msg.team and a matching SSL certificate. Find more details on the pages of the msg IT Community.
msg.Cloud consists of independent networks (so called SCA = Security Collaboration Area) which are shielded from the outside through SI (Protective Infrastructure). From the Internet communication can only happen on ports 80 and 443, i.e. enabling every kind of Web user interface but blocking access to other ports and thus protecting the msg.Cloud servers from the majority of attacks. SSL termination is done by SI so that you do not have to struggle with SSL certificates on your msg.Cloud server, you are just using plain simple HTTP there. msg.Cloud servers are fully visible from other msg networks like the CIT network or other SCAs.
Important msg.Cloud resources:
- Cloud objects are controlled through a web GUI and a REST API.
- All requests concerning msg.Cloud should be sent to msg Cloud Support using e-mail address cloud@msg.group. We will refer to this address frequently throughout this documentation.
Required Resources
Ressource need scales with the number and kind of applications you plan to run and the number of users you want to serve. Luckily virtual environments make it easy to increase resources when necessary so that ressources can grow according to demand.
Resource requirements vary wildly depending on the kind and number of stacks you want to run on your PS4 instance. Therefore the following requirements can just serve as rough guideline to start with:
| CPUs | RAM | Disk | Remark | ||
| Bare minimum | 1 | 1 GB | 4 GB | Just for trying PS4 and running proxy and GoTTY stacks. | |
| Minimal setup | 2 | 2 GB | 10 GB | Run stacks with low resource requirements for <10 users. | |
| Convenient setup | 4 | 8 GB | 30 GB |
