This may be just speculation, as the memory density in cloud hosts is rarely possible with non-ECC memory. I've found that when purchasing RAM for systems, it's fairly common for server and multi-rank to imply ECC, although I've had to look at product sheets to verify that.
Now, I could be wrong, but it would be quite a surprise to find out that any of the cloud services are not using ECC. I suspect they all are, but they don't advertise it.
- MichaelGG 12y agoWell I mean I asked in that thread, and MS replied stating they simply do not need ECC. I quoted a line from Google's study on memory errors, and Azure replied: "In our scenario, we have not seen bit error rates that align with the quote you mention". I suppose I could just spin up a 56GB instance and let it run a memtest for a week and see, right?
