- philip1209 11y agoWith reserved instances, prepayment, and other tricks you can about halve AWS costs at scale.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoBut still get worse performance than bare metal (noisy neighbors, inconsistent EBS performance, intra-instance network latency). Disclaimer: DevOps for AWS and bare metal infrastructure.
- res0nat0r 11y agoSure, virtualized OS' are always going to have some overhead vs. bare metal.
- ericd 11y agoMy understanding is that the OS virtualization is actually a relatively minor part of the difference.
- nickbauman 11y agoOh yes. Behaving well with a lot of performance variation and continuing to run in a partial failure state is a reality. Cloud makes it an explicit. Your own bare metal makes it implicit. If your app was born in the cloud, it will run that much better when it gets its own home. Until a local catastrophe, of course.
