Amazon instances are shared resources. I wouldn't want to count on
timing or disk throughput, and you can't just ask them to do "ssd" - its
a virtual machine! 500 simultaneous recordings is a hefty load, and I
would want to know that the underlying hardware is dedicated to the task.
Sure you see lots of posts about hosting asterisk and/or freeswitch on
EC2. I have done it myself and even have some clients doing it now *for
proof of concept*. I've never heard of anyone using it for the kind of
load you are talking about. I'm assuming with such a giant load you are
making a decent profit. Buy some hefty hardware and do the architecture
properly. You can rent half a rack at lots of high end datacenters for
less than $1000/month.

Hi Jeff
Are you aware of any challenges of hosting it on AWS? It will help me
to work out alternate plan. Is there any recommendation? Should I
split it to multiple instances and balance traffic across multiple
small server instances? I can use Kamailio to balance traffic.
I see many posts referring to AWS deployment. Please help me to choose
AWS server instance.
*Thanks & Regards,*

Why use Amazon? With that kind of load I would want dedicated
servers. Call Rackspace or Softlayer.

Hi
I plan to host Asterisk instances on AWS/EC2 servers.
Requirement is to run asterisk instance with transcoding (g.729 +
g.711) and full recording. Number of concurrent calls expected are
500+. 2 instances will be configured for 100% redundancy. Heart beat
will be used to determine active instance.
How should I choose EC2 instance?
How many vCPU, RAM should be selected? I am assuming that server
with ssd is required as all 500+ calls needs to be recorded.

Amit Patkar
