Hi Craig,

Just a week ago i stood up a bitnami instance from the AWS marketplace. This is mainly for an evaluation.

Getting that up was no issue. I am having trouble setting up an email sending service (gmail, GSuite, Sendgrid have all be unsuccessful). I suspect this is AWS blocking SMTP. Need to still investigate

All the information I can offer to your questions is the recommended RAM is 8GB and I don't know about the capacity it can handle for 1000 users. Maybe someone at Instructure can comment.

Good luck,

Vips
