I've used EC2 for running web servers as well as database server with the db servers being replicated to rackspace for backup.
I have always wondered about how EBS as disk will affect database as it is essentially a network drive. Any info on that would be great.
- psranga 17y agoYes, does anybody have data on latency and throughput of EBS "disks"?
- delano 17y agoI ran a few preliminary EC2 disk benchmarks in September: http://solutious.com/blog/2008/09/23/ec2-disk-performance-linux-solaris/ http://solutious.com/blog/2008/09/23/ec2-disk-performance-li... The Solaris performance was really poor compared to Linux. I emailed Sun and initially they were really receptive but never explained what was happening. I'm hoping to re-run the tests again soon to see if the latest OpenSolaris (2008-11) has improved.
