zer0her0how realistic is it to use the free year of ec2 for compiling things(such as chromium os & android)20:31

nDuffzer0her0, the mini machines they give away free are really, really tiny20:53
nDuffzer0her0, they're built for things that take basically no CPU, like load balancing20:53
nDuffzer0her0, ...or for just providing a test platform for your provisioning and management scripts...20:54
nDuffzer0her0, ...but I wouldn't suggest trying to use them as build machines.20:54
zer0her0nDuff: thanks, that's what i figured20:57
zer0her0just wanted to make sure20:57
zer0her0home pc that i was using for builds died20:57
zer0her0hehe was hoping to delay a rebuild for a year ;)20:57
erichammondsmoser: I approved the comment, thanks.21:07
erichammondsmoser: Followup from the UDS session... It looks like my EBS I/O request charges range from $1/month for a server doing very little to $20/month for a fairly active server.  I probably don't even represent the extremes.21:08
smoserwow21:10
smosererichammond, thanks. i would not have thought that.21:10

erichammondsmoser: Looks like I have 177 million EBS volume IOs so far this month on one account, primarily from a single instance.  By charging me, Amazon makes me think about reducing disk IO which would also have a positive performance impact on my application.  $20 just isn't enough for me to think about it yet, but there's probably some simple memory caching or move to incremental hourly processing that could eliminate the bulk.21:23
smoserthanks erichammond21:25
erichammondIs there an easy way to figure out which process(es) are performing the most IO?21:26
erichammondsar?21:26
nDufferichammond, iotop21:32
nDuff...well, if an instantaneous (as opposed to over-time) test is appropriate21:33
erichammondnDuff: I think I'm looking for IO over a period of like a day.  There are a lot of cron jobs that run periodically and I don't want to sit there watching it :)21:33
erichammondnDuff: ...but thanks.21:33
