Is the instance storage faster? I know there is discernible latency with file transfer between EC2 and S3. Having faster local storage for each instance could be very beneficial for swap space or temp tables, if your servers need a lot of it.
- dfranke 19y agoI still can't imagine needing that much temporary space and yet being small enough that using EC2 is still economical.

- nevinera 19y agoSome calculations don't need to be done that often. Recalculating for a massive data set can often be.. fudged for a period of time, in scientific computing - accuracy decreases over time, and then a full recalculation is eventually necessary. If you need major computing power, but only need it twice a month, this type of plan is economical, whether you're a large company or a small one.
