Autoscaling cPanel on AWS?

[linux bru]

Hello
i want to set autoscaling instance's to my whm system. in case the server will be with 80% busy another instance will be active and when the system load will be low the addition will stop working or in case the whm that run stop working another instance will takeover. my whm is base on amazom aws and the mail server mailgun based on google gcp, but can run the whm on google gcp tried already.
azure i'm waiting for credit to run all the test and oracle i will soon check this option as well.

Can i do this things with whm or whm offer's a different way to do those things?

Hello,

It sounds like you're talking about load balancing/synchronization of your server to multiple locations. While cPanel has no native functionality for this I know there are many other threads that discuss this as well as the following feature requests which I would encourage you to vote on:
Built-in load balancing, replication, high availability
Active-Active Redundancy or High-availability

Hello
yes indeed you understood my question. autoscaling and load balancing make it easy to manage it.

i will vote ok

What is the system limit as it is today? (if i may ask of course)
i'm asking because i want to know how many cpanel account's i can add to each whm vps or dedicated.

Hi @linux bru

There is no actual limit, the number of accounts you can hold on your system is determined by the resources available.


Thanks!

@linux_bru - been trying to figure out autoscaling/ELB for about a year now. looks like too many dependent files and alot of scripting is required to achieve this.

I was about to try this on AWS with an autoscaling group behind an ELB all using the same cPanel image from AWS Marketplace and having all instances share the same LizardFS user data filesystem and database. Would that not work? Is there other data that would need to be shared besides all the user homes and the database?
