Create Stream Manager and Terraform Instances
We will now create two new droplets, using the snapshot created in the previous step.
Note: for TESTING ONLY, you can run terraform on the same instance as the stream manager.
- From the Snapashots menu, click on the More dropdown, and select Create Droplet
- Choose a plan – for the Stream Manager instance, we want an instance with more memory, so click on Memory-Optimized and select the $80/month
16 GB / 2 CPUs
droplet type, with the default1x SSD
- Skip Add block storage
- Choose a datacenter region – the datacenter where you created the image will be selected by default (if you want to create a droplet in a different region, then you first will need to copy the snapshot to that region)
- VPC Network – as of this document, Red5 Pro autoscaling does not support targeting by Digital Ocean VPC, so you must leave this as the default.
- Authentication – select SSH keys and add a check next to the ssh key that you added in the previous step.
- Finalize and create – choose the default
1 droplet
and modify the name to identify the droplet (note: this hostname is only a label, it is not a DNS name) - If you have multiple projects, select the one you want to use for this environment, and click on Create Droplet
Repeat the above steps to create a Terraform instance, but use the Compute Optimized C-2
instance type, as Terraform does not need the additional memory.
