Are there any special preparations you would recommend for
this site to GET READY?
Maybe it will be as Joe Biden put it some years ago:
“Gird your loins!”
Recommendations to get ready.
1) If using a cloud infrastructure, add a couple of servers for Nov 3rd and 4th.
2) work with your ISP to set up defense for DDOS attack
3) block new account sign up for the 3rd and 4th
4) take a backup / snapshot the night of the 2nd
5) Implement quality of service protections so that no one flow of traffic can hog the bandwidth
6) prioritize out bound traffic
7) reindex your database prior to Nov 2nd
No girding of the loins if we eventually decide to do a ZOOM meeting.
