[mapserver-users] Amazon AWS instance size for MapServer

[Richard Greenwood]

You will probably do fine with the smaller instance, but a few things to
consider:
* Data from shapefiles not a database.
* A qix index on the shapefiles if > 10k features.
* FastCGI.
* Labeling can be pretty resource intensive so pay attention to them.
* Linux, not Windows, which requires more memory.
* SSD
