Latency Comparison between cloud hosting Vs Dedicated hosting

2013-04-09 Thread Sujatha Arun
Hi,

We are comparing search request latency between Amazon Vs  Dedicated
hosting [Rackspace] .For comparison we used solr version 3.6.1 and Amazon
small instance.The index size was less than 1GB.

We see that the latency is about 75 -100 %  from Amazon. Any body who has
migrated form Dedicated hosting to Cloud has any pointers  for improving
latecny?

Would a bigger instance improve latency?

Regards
Sujatha

Yes, and prewarming caches would help, too.

Hi Sujatha,

You should really do the same stuff to improve latency in the cloud as
what you would do on a dedicated server.
Amazon-specific stuff:
Bigger EC2 instances have better IO.  EBS performance varies.  Some
people mount N of them and stripe across them.  Some people try N EBS
volumes to find the best performing one(s) and discard the rest.  Some
people pay for provisioned IOPS.
