RS is only used by those that haven't found the beauty that is EC2.
- trocker 14y agosure, github, thenextweb & countless others ovelooked the beauty that EC2 was.Right? There are countless differences between EC2 & Rackspace for example CPU - rackspace's performance is way better than EC2. You should benchmark your scripts on both & then compare.
- applebug60 14y agoThey're both using the same virtualization. What's your use case that requires that much CPU? I'd bet spot instances would be a better fit in most cases.
- trocker 14y agoYup, spot instances would surely fit. And yes EC2 is awesome too. No point in changing the thread to a different discussion altogether. Even if Rackspace is #2, this is not what was expected of it, right? Changing the provider to EC2 is an option that everyone has but that has enormous overhead too!
- toomuchtodo 14y agoThe only benefit Rackspace provides is their customer support; if I want infrastructure, I'm going to Amazon, and then building out my colo when a load profile has been established. If you've got the staff to build out a web property, you've got the staff to man a rack of equipment.
