List of Moodle sites with a large number of users.
- The following pages (started in 2005) list large Moodle installations. Feel free to add details of your large site to the relevant page. As not all sites are registered or public, these lists are not comprehensive.
- Currently the largest known Moodle installation is the Open University of Beijing, China with over 3.5 million users.
- Installations 1000 plus users
- Installations 5000 plus users
- Installations 10000 plus users
- Installations 30000 plus users
- Installations 250000 plus users
- Installations 300000 plus users
Architecture
Large scale Moodle infrastructures can be set up on different types of machines, from bare metal to compartmentalized virtual containers (or Kubernetes Pods).
In this section, we will try to share and put together some case study examples of such technological concepts of running very large scale Moodle systems.
On premise
- Bare metal or Virtualization for Moodle Server_cluster setup.
- Clustering Moodle on Multiple Servers for High Availability and Scalability.
Public clouds
- Amazon (AWS) EC2 (VMs) with auto scaling groups and managed services (Storage, Caching, Database, CI/CD).
- Moodle Horizontal Scalable Deployment on AWS stack
- Hosting high availability Moodle on AWS (Spanish)
- Auto-Scaling Moodle Architecture on AWS 2015
- Moodle with AWS Elastic Beanstalk
- Cloud infrastructure for high concurrency slides, video 2019 Moodle MOOT Global presentation.
- Amazon (AWS) Docker containers with auto scaling groups and managed services (Storage, Caching, Database, CI/CD).
- Google (GPC) Kubernetes including automated managed micro services (Storage, Caching, Database, CI/CD, document conversions)
- Microsoft (Azure) - Deploy and Manage a Scalable Moodle Cluster on Azure
- GÉANT webinar about "Managing and running large scale Moodle system, for IT" including video recording & presentations of several different Moodle system architectures.
Custom setup and Tips
- A list of Performance_recommendations tuning tweaks you should consider applying to your system.
- Bare metal vs Virtualization, consideration relevant to the specific way Moodle is built.
- Save some budget with AWS infrequent access EFS
- Deploying Moodle on Azure – things you should know
- Moodle Caching at Scale
Community support
- Moodle Hardware and performance forum.
- Large scale Moodle IT support Telegram group (click to join) (discussion archive)
