Goal

The goal of the 2015 hosting upgrade is to combine the various CS web hosting options into a single hosting cluster. This will make the hosting environment more consistent, easier to maintain, able to handle more load, and more scalable.

Current Environment

Currently, CS web hosting is split among various virtual servers based on function to provide quasi load balancing.

  • people.cs.vt.edu
