System Security & Backup
Security

 Network performance
 Load balancing
 …
 …

Server Configuration
 RAM: 3 GB
Disk Space: 100 GB
CPU: 3 x 2.0 Ghz
OS: Linux (Ubuntu 10.x)
PHP Version: PHP 5.5+
MySQL Version: MySQL 5.5
Apache Server: 2.4.x
Others:
cPanel/WHM access, phpMyAdmin access
SSL (if we need to run it on https)

System Configuration
 8 virtual CPUs
 15 GB RAM
 Dedicated throughput 1000 mbps
 10+ TB HDD
 Compute Optimized : c1-c4 is available
 c4.2x large is OK
 The no. of instances may need to be increased in future to
balance the load, not only scaling up the instance type from C1
to C3, but from 1 C1 to 4 C1s.
 From a rough research, for a Football live match with 15GB total
video streaming for 6000 parallel users it requires 3 C4 instances
(better for G and D instance type)

System, Server & Software Upgrade
 If number of users increases to 5000

Handling Videos, Live Streaming
 There will be 400 videos of 8 minutes duration which will need
to be live streamed
 What kind of storage and embed policy will we use
