The post mentions that the disk performance of Amazon small ec2 instances was poor enough to justify the relatively expensive large instances. If the blog author is on HN, were you using Amazon EBS or ephermeral storage to back Riak? I have seen different advice regarding using ephermeral storage to increase disk performance at the expense of data integrity in the event of instance termination. I remember Reddit programmers saying they run Cassandra on ephermeral storage.
