Why would you not want to use VPC?
- pdougherty 14y agoThe main reason I can think of is the single point of failure in regards to a NAT instance. With the only other alternative being giving EIPs to every host that needs internet access. I would like to see a more robust solution and HA for the NAT instance. Especially if you're doing any kind of heavy proxying, couldnt you max out the NAT instance's uplink at some point? Anyone have ideas?
- count 14y agoUse ELB instead of a NAT instance?
- nivertech 14y agoMy scenario was load testing, to generate 1M outgoing connections we need 17 IP aliases, aliasing doesn't work on EC2, so we had to spawn 17 instances just for this. I didn't tried elastic IPs for this, not sure it will work for outgoing connections.
