I was also surprised by the performance improvement on dedicated hardware as compared to EC2 instances of roughly 10x. Often we justify building an MVP in whatever framework is fastest to build or where we have resources that know that framework. Several of these are B2B applications with relatively smaller audiences.

Especially when there are things like: Amazon S3 / EC2 / AWS outage this morning. They also are VERY interesting for background processing tasks that take compute resources or from a storage cloud standpoint. Amazon EC2 - uses it for natural language processing. Would never put a user request to an EC2 instance.

Amazon EC2 would be considered fully managed cloud, which also happens to be off premise. Enterprise are quite constrained from the resource point of view, and they really don''t have the cycles to understand OpenStack at a deep level. That is on premise, off premise, fully managed, and do-it-yourself. That will remain in-perpetuity.

“By the way, back then it was just Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud [EC2] and both ‘Elastic’ and ‘Cloud’ were candidate key terms. I taught a somewhat crazy course about writing and deploying a scalable website in Ruby on Rails and deploying it in EC2. The term ‘cloud computing’ only caught on much later.

.&# What this meant was that rather than buying really expensive UNIX servers (and multiple machines in order to handle redundancy) we could buy cheap, replaceable servers for compute resources. They then launched processing capabilities (EC2) and we startups suddenly didn’t need to buy production servers.

This is an EC2 test run on a pair of Large instances. We ran each test on EC2 and our i7 hardware. First up is plain JSON serialization on Amazon EC2 large instances. The high-performance Netty platform takes a commanding lead for JSON serialization on EC2. Starting again with EC2. JSON serialization test.
