[LDM #SBI-339892]: Server configuration for LDM

Greetings Jing Li,

It was a pleasure meeting you.

The latest version of the LDM (6.12.6) doesn't run well on the Amazon cloud; we 
don't know why. Version 6.8.1 works, however.

The LDM is very efficient; consequently, a minimal configuration should suffice.

Yes.

> 3. What is the relationship between LDM and THREDDS?

The LDM is a mechanism for obtaining data products. It has the ability to file 
data-products and/or pipe them to a program. Other than that, it really doesn't 
know or care about the data-products.

THREDDS is a mechanism for indexing and serving data-products. It can be used 
with the LDM.
