Just throwing my 2cents into this conversation.

I am currently operating 10 servers in virtual environments among multiple cloud providers, this includes the following: Amazon EC2, Linode, Digital Ocean.

My experience so far has been overall good, with the exception that a few times I've had to have linode move my VM to a less saturated node, digital ocean isn't any better in this regard as they're highly over subscribed.

AWS has been decent but as stated previously, Physical hardware will give you the best results.

As for Ubuntu, i -am- currently running all of my VM's on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, i had some hurdles dealing with ODBC + MySQL, ended up rolling my own packages to fix them, but this is not a proper solution.

I am currently testing Debian + 1.6 with my setup and its going really well.

I am also in the process of moving to Physical Hardware as well because of the increased performance, up front its more expensive, but you end up with higher call capacity, clearer audio under load, and less headaches due to circumstances that are outside of your control.

I would not use Linode, it adds a layer of uncertainty, because most of voip (and freeswitch) deployments are on actual metal hardware, and any additional layer will distance your install from mainstream.

Also, definitely not use Ubuntu. Use Debian 8 instead.

Also, consider moving to FreeSWITCH 1.6, 1.4 is rapidly approaching end-of-life.

That said, (and I strongly suggest you go to real hardware, Debian 8, FS 1.6 if you want things to go smooth), if you really want to do the investigation, this page can help you: https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Troubleshooting+Debugging

what freeswitch version/operating system version/freeswitch code version (from fs_cli "version" command), what hardware platform?

Consult http://confluence.freeswitch.org for information on how to debug, and *particularly* on how to report a problem/bug.

Hi,

My FS freeze with 100% CPU rate frequently. When it happens, there is no strange network traffic and no log at all. The last thing logged is just the processing of a normal phone call. Then everything stopped. How can I debug or find any clue about this issue? Thanks.
