Compliance check	2 clouds, 6 hypervisors, 6TB RAM	1.5
Install cloud platforms	Deploy core cloud environments	1.0
Stability check	Early operations	0.5
Automation study	Automate deployment/tasks	1.5
Develop templates	6 templates, 8 envs, 2 clouds/OS	1.5
Migration diagram	Process illustration	1.0
Write migration code	138 lines (see MigrationApp.sh)	1.5
Process stabilization	Ensure repeatable migration	1.5
Cloud benchmarking	Performance test vs legacy	1.5
Downtime calibration	Per-migration time calculation	0.5
VM loading	82 VMs: OS, code, 2 IPs each	0.1
Total		15 man-days

Migration Test Actions

Action	Expected Result
Power off one node	All resources started
Power off/on all nodes simultaneously	All resources started

Web Infrastructure & Best Practices

Favor minimal, flexible infrastructure
Track customer location via GDNS or similar
Use network load balancers (LVS, IPVS) for scaling
Compare prices and beware of vendor lock-in
For TLS: use HAProxy for fast frontend, Envoy for compatibility
Caching: Varnish, Apache Traffic Server for large content
Prefer open-source stacks and database caches (e.g. Memcached)
Use message queues and buffers for workload smoothing

Useful Cloud & IT Links

Advanced: High-Availability, HPC & DevSecOps

High Availability with Corosync & Pacemaker

Multi-node or dual-room clusters for redundancy
Use IPMI for fencing, provision via PXE/NTP/DNS/TFTP
For 2-node clusters: stagger fencing for stability; 3+ nodes recommended

Common Resources Pattern

Multipath storage, LUN, LVM, NFS
User and process resources
IP, DNS, Listener management

HPC

DevSecOps
