Published by RightScale on Jun 13, 2013Revision: 60

Description

This is a Beta ServerTemplate since it has only recently been released and has not yet had heavy usage. Please provide feedback at our feedback forums or file support tickets on our support site.

This ServerTemplate is on the Infinity Lineage. There is no LTS version of the ServerTemplate yet. For a description of the Infinity and LTS lineages, see ServerTemplate Release Methodology.

This ServerTemplate configures a Django application server for Apache using mod_wsgi. It is designed to work in a hybrid cloud setting, and with a CLB, ELB, or Load Balancer ServerTemplate and Database ServerTemplate as part of a three-tier web architecture. It also includes iptables management for clouds that do not have firewall services.

Key Features:

Firewall management within a three-tier scalable web architecture
Utilizes RightScale tag-based routing for connecting to load balancers
Pulls application code from an external repository (Git, SVN, or cloud storage)
