Instances are already IO bound/capped.
For example, if you start up a micro instance, you'll only be able to download at like 200kbps or something.
So I'd assume the connection speed is linked to the size of the instance, and the bandwidth cost is integrated into that cost somewhat.
- nolite 15y agoany more info on this? I had no idea this was the case
- meow 15y agoI don't think this is accurate. I have seen download speeds of around 6/8MBps on windows micro instances. The lowest I got was around 3MBps. But I only tried with downloads of around 30MB files at the maximum.
- jdq 15y agoThe io is burstable. Try doing a sustained large download and you will see the speed throttle down
- burgerbrain 15y agoNo, I'm seeing a sustained 6MB/s on this US-EAST micro.
- eik3_de 15y agoThis wget -O /dev/null http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test gives me about 30 MBytes/s from a micro instance in EU-West
- speckledjim 15y agoSorry yeah it looks like my test was disk IO bound rather than network bound.
