Why do they charge the $2/hour dedicated fee for the CC2.8xlarge? Isn't that size already a dedicated instance if you just use it as an on-demand instance? You get 32 virtual cores which makes sense for a dedicated instance, since you get 16 physical cores (2x8) and the hyper-threading makes 32 virtual cores.
"CC2 and CR1 Instances are backed by 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors, eight-cores with hyperthreading"
Am I missing anything or is there a benefit to doing a dedicated cc2.8xlarge instance? Compliance maybe?
- RyanGWU82 13y agoCompliance is the main reason to purchase Dedicated Instances -- maybe the only reason at all. Amazon could always silently introduce better physical hardware, at which point they could put 2+ cc2.8xlarge instances on a physical server. I'm sure there are more m1.smalls on each 2013-era box than there were in 2007.
- leef 13y agoThere's no guarantee that CC2.8xlarge will own the whole box. It might be that way today, but not if Amazon runs virts on even larger boxes in the future.
