[Freeswitch-users] FS in Amazon EC2 for production?

[Erik Wickstrom]

It's been under pretty light use.  About 20 users.  A bunch of DIDs coming
in and some outbound campaigns.  A couple hundred calls a day. (we also did
a test for an outbound campaign with 8 telemarketers making 1000s of calls
in a day -- worked great!)

The AMI is based on Ubuntu 8.04.  We're using the smallest instance at this
point, so it's $70/mo + bandwidth/storage ~~ maybe $80/mo.

The loadavg is always at 0.00.
