New high I/O instances have 2TB of "holy shit fast, destroys my $1000 enterprise SSD" storage.
Just a tongue-in-cheek comment: Those instances also cost over $2000 USD per month. For the same money you could buy a new Dell Server with 2-4 SSDs, every month. ;)
- stevencorona 14y agoLol, very true, but for 3-4 hour workloads they are perfect- which I think is one of the "makes the most sense" kind of EC2 workloads. In this case, I had about 8 million output files from a Hadoop job that I needed to process with MySQL- it was perfect!
- pbiggar 14y agoTHey're only $2000 if you don't have reserved instances.
