Hindsight is 20/20.
I think you guys did an exceptional job to tackling a really difficult problem (I've been in the same position, migrating EC2 to Datacenters) and we determined that EC2 -> VPC -> Datacenters is really the only way, and Neti solves it surprisingly well.
Going forward, hope that acquired companies opened their AWS accounts late enough that Amazon forced them to use VPC.
- themartorana 12y agoWe're small, comparatively - 20-30 servers max - and we need to get in to VPC for a new cluster that requires static internal IPs. (Reboot an EC2 Classic instance and you may get a different 10.x address.) In any case, the migration is daunting even at our size, although our devops team size is 1. I do wish they had VPC when we started.
- rb2k_ 12y agoYou could also just attach EIPs and use those, right?
- themartorana 12y agoIn an incredibly late reply - EIPs are public-facing, I need internal IPs for fastest possible LAN routing.
