Really?
Most of the costs for using the NGINX AMI + t2.nano come from software (0.29/hr), not EC2 (0.006/hr).
That's like the worst instance you could pick to prove anything about the performance of your platform. At most you're telling me your AMI costs half of NGINX's... Which still is a lot more than just running Ubuntu with a free AMI.
- nderjung 5y agoThis is true, but the same principle applies to EC2 instance. We also tried renting an m3.medium and installed Debian+NGINX on one and Unikraft+NGINX on another and experienced the same cost savings with, in addition, twice the performance (roughly 12K req/s vs. 26K req/s).
