Amazon Cloud computing - Information needed

Posted On // Leave a Comment

After posting a thread here and obtaining several advices we had finally thinking of checking three services Vultr- Already signed up Linode- Already signed up Amazon web services - Signed up and head spinning- Totally confused


The above two companies offered understandable service which we are used to. But Amazon services are giving a severe headache to us in understanding their billing, usage, and server creation and utilisation pattern. Hence again coming back to LET community to have a better idea. We had created an Amazon account which conveyed that we are eligible for free tier which we understood fully about what are the service which we can use within free tier and its limitation.


What we don’t understood are the following


1) What are the bandwidth cost of Amazon, is it given per VPS like DO, Linode gives ( 2 TB per VPS) it shows something per region, what exactly it is? Is it like if our customers are spread across various region and accessing the service each region charges separate rate? Is it too costly when compared with other VPs providers? 2) What are the reserved instances? If we purchase reserved instances for regular websites should we go for high usage instance or medium instance? 3) If we purchase medium usage instance and operate it for full time will there be any more charges? 4) What is this CPU quota? Some 20%-30% like that is given which is really confusing. 5) After the reduced tariff will amazon be costly than Linode for a basic small VPS? 6) Is snapshot creation and restoration a tedious task in Amazon EC2? 7) Is anyone here in LET using their service via reserved instance purchase mode? 8) If we purchase the reserved instance for a fixed price should we end in paying anything more?


Waiting for great answers.
