[15:18] i *think* i commented on http://alestic.com/2010/10/ec2-ubuntu-maverick#comment-484 yesterday [17:49] erichammond, awake ? [17:54] please ping me when/if you see this. [19:02] smoser: Got my 3 hours of sleep and am off to work. === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Hussain is now known as Hussain_Away === zul__ is now known as zul [20:31] how realistic is it to use the free year of ec2 for compiling things(such as chromium os & android) === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates [20:53] zer0her0, the mini machines they give away free are really, really tiny [20:53] zer0her0, they're built for things that take basically no CPU, like load balancing [20:54] zer0her0, ...or for just providing a test platform for your provisioning and management scripts... [20:54] zer0her0, ...but I wouldn't suggest trying to use them as build machines. [20:57] nDuff: thanks, that's what i figured [20:57] just wanted to make sure [20:57] home pc that i was using for builds died [20:57] hehe was hoping to delay a rebuild for a year ;) [21:07] smoser: I approved the comment, thanks. [21:08] smoser: 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. [21:10] wow [21:10] erichammond, thanks. i would not have thought that. === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [21:23] smoser: 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. [21:25] thanks erichammond [21:26] Is there an easy way to figure out which process(es) are performing the most IO? [21:26] sar? [21:32] erichammond, iotop [21:33] ...well, if an instantaneous (as opposed to over-time) test is appropriate [21:33] nDuff: 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] nDuff: ...but thanks. === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk
