Network latency is very inconsistent on EC2. This is a huge issue is you use a piece of software that assume that you are in a data centre with good networking, as you'd expect in an regular data centre.
- lsh123 13y agoIt's not about "assuming" things. It's about severe performance degradation beyond any expected levels. Yes, there are solutions to workaround these things. But it will cost way more than a dedicated hardware setup if you account all the costs (software licenses, OPS salaries, etc).
- lucian1900 13y agoAssumptions are certainly part of it. Software is often designed to consider certain round-trips cheap and others expensive. If this assumption does not apply, it will perform terribly.
