New type EC2 instance - High-Storage Eight Extra Large
Hello!
New joy for those who care about size. Amazon Web Services announced a monstrous server with the following parameters:
117 GiB of memory
35 EC2 Compute Units (16 virtual cores)
24 hard disk drives each with 2 TB of instance storage
64-bit platform
I / O Performance: Very High (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
Storage I / O Performance: Very High
EBS-Optimized Available: No
API name: hs1.8xlarge
Yes, now it will be absolutely impossible to measure pussies with AWS. The hs1.8xlarge instance opens up a new family of High-Storage instances that are designed for applications that need very fast IO and are moving in huge amounts of data.
The price ... Yes, hs1.8xlarge is now the most expensive of all instances in EC2: Linux at US-EAST-1 costs $ 4,600 per hour, which will be reflected in the monthly bill at $ 3422.4 . Not a little, but for such a monster ... ')
[UPD] With a three-year Heavy reservation, the average monthly amount per server is $ 1035.55.
