I wonder how this compares to nVidia's commercial GRID product[0]. They claimed latency up to 150ms from their recent announcements. I'm sure AWS can spike to worse than 20ms.
Either way, I still think adding latency will poorly effect certain types of games: online/twitchy ones predominately. It's cool how easy it is to set something like this up on AWS, though.

- kondro 12y agoI have never noticed latency spikes like that from Amazon through transit… especially not for anything as trivial as 10Mbps which even a Micro instance is capable of sustaining.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoIts not about the instance, its about the datacenter. They share routers, and somebody somewhere needed the bandwidth at the same time you did. So random latency. We run office collaboration software in the cloud but not on Amazon. Rackspace has better latency guarantees, or at least better average latency.
