VM’s for Web Application Infrastructure

One of the biggest challenge is the infrastructure setup. Entire world moving towards agile development, so we need Application Server Virtualization.

Multiple Environments : The issue of setting up of infrastructure for various teams like Development Team, QA Team, Performance testing team.

App Development Vs Procurement Delay: Virtual Machines will play a vital role in these kind of issues. You can install the application server on a Virtual Machine. You can configure as you do on the Hardware. The time delay between your application development and hardware procurement can be reduced.

Snapshot : You can take the snapshot of the web application infrastructure, clone it on a different VM. The installation headache, maintaining of the servers can be reduced.

Infrastructure for Web Application

In order to successfully deliver the web application, is the environment/infrastructure setup is must. Typically we can broadly have 4 environments :

1. Development Box – Only for developers to develop the functionalities.
2. Test(QA) Box – Used for the QA to verify the funcationality.
3. Stage Box – Configuration is same as Production, including the hardware also. This can be used for performance testing, funcationality testing
4. Production Box – Live Environment for the Web Application.

Advantages:

1. Proper demarcation across the various activities
