Systems and methods for centralization of server initialization information
Methods and systems for resource usage tracking are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary method comprises maintaining, in a data store, a configuration file associated with a virtual server instance; instantiating a virtual server based on the virtual server instance by: locating, in the data store, the configuration file; determining required virtual server resources based on the contents of the configuration file; configuring at least one resource of the virtual server based on the contents of the configuration file; and spinning up the virtual server. The method may also comprise determining that an instantiated virtual server has reached an error state; and based on the determination that the instantiated virtual server has reached an error state, determining a configuration file associated with the instantiated virtual server; and instantiating a new virtual server using the determined configuration file.
