karstensragehi, i was wondering if there was a way to compare EC2 instances to VPS solutions?15:24
karstensragefor instance how does a 'small' EC2 instance compare to what http://vpslink.com/compare/vpslink-hosting-plans/ offers?15:25
orangeacmeit varies in lots of ways. the best way to compare is to run your application on ec2 and on the vps. trying it out for an hour shouldn't cost you much15:39
karstensrageno i mean just in terms of cost analysis15:41
karstensragelike you can see the EC2 cost for one year of a 'small' instance works out to be about 18/month15:42
karstensrageand the Link3 on that VPS site is about 19/month if you only pay monthly15:43
karstensragebut is the 'small' comparable in any meaningful way to the Link3 in terms of bandwidtch, memory, disk space15:43
metalmankarstensrage: we did these comparisons before moving to ec2, and almost in every way ec2 was superior to most vps services15:57
karstensragehmm ok15:57
metalmanhttp://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/15:58
karstensrageright now im running two .war applications under tomcat, with Mule, MySQL and a standalone Jersey (RESTful) deamonized with jsvc16:01

flaccidkarstensrage: 19/month in which currency ?23:46
karstensrageusd23:49
flaccidwhere is aws' costs on the instances, because that seems cheap23:52
erichammondflaccid: http://ec2pricing.notlong.com23:52
erichammondand no, you can't run a server full time for $19/mo on EC2.23:53
erichammondThe cheapest would be $31.63/month and that includes paying $350 up front for a reduced price for the next 3 years, and that does not include network traffic or persistent storage.23:56
karstensragelike youd want all db to be persistent23:57
karstensrageeventually23:57
flaccidyeah i work for rightscale :) what was the 19/month reference referring to ?23:58
erichammondkarstensrage: You'd want your database to be persistent immediately.23:58
karstensrageerichammond, yeah i know.. i use terracotta which has a concept of 'eventually' but yeah i agree23:58
flaccidanyone used rds yet ?23:58
karstensrageflaccid, vpslink23:58
flaccidkarstensrage: like you can see the EC2 cost for one year of a 'small' instance works out to be about 18/month23:59
flaccidi guess i misread that..23:59
karstensrageyeah, paying the 227.50 but it doesnt include usage23:59
