I know this is going to sound ridiculous and maybe this is the wrong topic. I'm at a spot where I wish there was a closer to turn key framework for my project. I wrote 3 interdependent web servers, have them running on all the same virtual machine on digital ocean with varnish. Now I need to upgrade ubuntu and I don't want them to go down. So, apparently I need at least 3 machines if not more. One to run varnish or something similar, to direct to the other 2. Some way to bleed people over to one of the 2 machines. Once everyone is on one machine I can upgrade the unused machine. After that I can bleed them all back and then upgrade the other. Is this too small a niche? Is the answer I should have used "google cloud"? It just seems like each step is so much work. I certainly learned a lot (vagrant, ansible, and other stuff) although all of that knowledge will be probably obsolete before I need to do this again. Is there something I should have looked at? Sandstorm seems one level down. Like it's more like a replacement for the old lamp/cpanel isps.
