Configure services to run on web services machines - Hexagon

This topic has moved, and is now maintained here.

You can run the services on multiple machines. This is useful when you need to:

• Separate the services from the web server (recommended)

• Improve performance

• Help with load balancing

To learn more about the services and load balancing, see Web services, performance, load balancing, and rate limiting.

You can also configure sites, plants, and the number of services running on a machine later using Admin API actions.

What do you want to do?

• Run services on a new machine for a plant that is already enabled

• Run services on a new machine for a plant that is not yet enabled

• Stop running services for a plant on a machine

• Remove a machine from the environment

• Change the number of plant services running on a machine
