Just had a play round on the base instance - first thing I noticed is just how slow the servers are. Defining what I mean by slow: - The IOP/s limits make the server practically unusable for anything I tried, fio reports random 4k writes to be between 20-100 at most with very heavy fluctuation, I wouldn't consider anything under around 4K IOP/s usable for basic tasks for for databases I really want to see at least 10K. - The vCPU feels very over provisioned and I noticed a lot of WAIT even when the VM was doing nothing. - After starting the server for the first time it had 3438 failed login attempts - I'm wondering if it was properly erased or if you're actually being DOSed heavily already. - Very high latency from Australia with a 300-500ms RTA. test: (g=0): rw=randwrite, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=64 fio-2.2.8 Starting 1 process test: Laying out IO file(s) (1 file(s) / 4096MB) bs: 1 (f=1): [w(1)] [5.6% done] [0KB/244KB/0KB /s] [0/61/0 iops] [eta 02m:14s] Last failed login: Sat Aug 15 21:35:27 EDT 2015 from xx.xx.xx.xx on ssh:notty There were 3438 failed login attempts since the last successful login.
