As mentioned, production servers should maximize performance and set this parameter to `huge`. You can set the `node_size` parameter lower to use less memory, but you should only do this for testing. With a `node_size` of `medium`, a `rippled` server can be reasonably stable in a test Linux system with as little as 8GB of RAM. -#### Amazon Web Servives +#### Amazon Web Services Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a popular virtualized hosting environment. You can run rippled in AWS, but Ripple does not recommend using Elastic Block Storage (EBS). Elastic Block Storage's maximum number of IOPS (5,000) is insufficient for `rippled`'s heaviest loads, despite being very expensive.
