Configure Varnish Cache 4.0 with SSL Termination on Ubuntu

While Nginx alone is powerful enough to handle high volume of traffic, we cannot do away with the power of Apache. Additionally, the same server can handle more traffic if a better caching is configured.

The subject requirement is required to work as follows:



We need the Varnish_VPS & LAMP_VPS to be on the same machine.

When a visitor accessed our server the access flow would be as follows:

OVER HTTPS
Visitor > Nginx > SSL Termination > Varnish > Apache

OVER HTTP
Visitor > Varnish > Apache

This configuration helps to further extend the performance of the server and gives it's users ample breathing space & allow more traffic on the same server without having to upgrade the VPS.

We should provide this functionality as an AjentiV package..
