Deployment server specification

[smcmahon]

We need to specify the server requirements for the live deployment. The admin team is ready to deploy pretty much when needed.

My thoughts are that this will be adequate:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
4 GB RAM
4 CPU Cores
96 GB SSD Storage
4 TB Transfer (per month)
40 Gbps Network In
500 Mbps Network Out
Data center in Newark, NJ or London.

If we need more, we can expand to 8 GB RAM and 6 cores and still be well within the monthly budget set by the board. Scaling up is easy; scaling down, hard.

Working branch of Ansible Playbook is https://github.com/plone/ansible-playbook/tree/plone-org.

So far, just testing via vagrant.
