One particularly interesting anomaly is the dominance of Windows paired with Mongo on EC2 in the Updates test. It''s possible the Windows EC2 instance is running on a newer host than the Linux EC2 instance, but both are classified as m1.large. MORE
At the bottom end of the stack is storage (S3) and processing (EC2). This blog post originally appeared in serialized form here on TechCrunch. This version is the shorter, ADHD version. MORE
you''ll be able to see the other test types on Peak''s hardware alongside our i7 workstations and the EC2 instances we''ve tested in all previous rounds. As we and our collaborators prepare Round 9 of our Framework Benchmarks project, we had an epiphany: With high-performance software, a single modern server processes over 1 million HTTP requests per second. Five months ago, Google talked about load-balancing to achieve 1 million requests per second. MORE
Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning. Amazon EC2 - uses it for natural language processing. Would never put a user request to an EC2 instance.

The focus was S3 - storage service, EC2 - their compute cloud, their queuing system, and their flexible payment system. The EC2 is very similar to having a Linux box in a colocation facility. This would seem to be a good case for us to separate off matching and making that a more scalable operation on EC2. I went to an event by Amazon on their Amazon Web Services in Santa Monica today. MORE
Manhattan Beach-based CapLinked , which operates a software service to help companies communicate with investors, is one of the firms caught by the widespread Amazon EC2 downtime today. Many web services use Amazon's EC2 software to offload processing of operations on their web sites. CapLinked said in its blog that its site is temporarily unavailable due to Amazon's hosting service issues. MORE
