Configuring a data or web server

Virtual machines to server generic data or web content typically use a persistent flavor (see Virtual machine flavors) and boot from a volume (see Booting from a volume).

If you are interested in creating a server to share data see FTP server in CC-Cloud which, despite the name, actually encourages you to use methods other than FTP, such as HTTP or SFTP.
If you are interested in creating a webserver see Creating a Webserver on CC-Cloud. In addition there are scripts to aid in automating the setup of common web server configurations.
- See OpenStack VM Setups for information about using automated cloud setups.
- Currently available setups for webservers are:
  - Apache2 CloudInit
  - Mediawiki Heat Template
