Unfortunately supply is quite limited. If you want to horizontally scale on these instances you need to have a good relationship with AWS so they'll give you a big allocation before c9i is a thing.
- roboben 4mo agoalso i found them much less stable than metal instances running into weird kvm failures
- Reformedot 4mo agoYes, it is. It was a challenge to make it work smooth without metal. The scaling out speed was one of the main reasons
- flaminHotSpeedo 4mo agoI haven't personally tried, so I can't say for certain, but Lambda has publicly stated they run on bare metal EC2 instances, presumably the supply of whatever instance types they use should be fairly healthy
- thundergolfer 4mo agoYou're talking about AWS Lambda? - Their use of bare metal isn't necessarily the latest gen hardware - AWS Lambda is part of AWS, and obviously has privileged access to supply
- Natalia724 4mo agoThe interesting part to me is less the exact hardware generation and more the control plane around placement, isolation, and startup latency. That is hard to copy outside AWS.
