Hi,

I'm working on a new concept of tournament but I need many servers. In ordre to reduce and manage my cost I want to use a Cloud (Amazon).

So, I need to know exactly what's the minimum requirements for a dedicated server ?

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

how many players on each server? Will you also have a server controller?
If you have few players (20) you can run a controller & the dedicated on a 1gb server with ease.

But attention with amazon EC2, if the server runs for an extensive period of time it can quickly cost more then a cheap dedicated server. Also, I always had performance issues on small ec2 instances. Never tried them for a maniaplanet server.

You probably won't need multiple vcpu's as the dedicated server doesn't multithread much to my knowledge.

Maybe someone else has triedand provide some more information.

Thanks for you reply.

The idea is to have several servers for playing matchs at the same time. Thus, the tournament can be played in one day/night.
Each servers will be running for a short time (config + tournament) and just for few players.

Unless i'm mistaken, EC2 can be paused and should cost nothing, right ?
