I haven't personally, but I have seen some people on the list using EC2 for FS. AFAIK it will work, essentially, for some value of work.<br><br>However, when running a realtime server such as FS on a virtual machine you have to bear in mind that the guest OS has little control of timing. The host can take away processing time unpredictibly for other tasks, especially if the server is quite loaded. That means that keeping a constant timer running can be tricky for FS to do, which is why you saw many people have had clock and audio quality problems. Jitter buffers will cover it up, but can only do so much.<br>
<br>How well it performs is probably best determined by setting it up yourself and doing some testing.<br><br>-Steve<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 5 July 2011 12:00, Sanjay Arora <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sanjay.k.arora@gmail.com">sanjay.k.arora@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Google gave very few results. There were very few positive posts/articles, among them <a href="http://www.spinics.net/lists/freeswitch/msg03870.html" target="_blank">Eric Wickstrom's post on this list around 2009</a> but many seemed to be having clock/echo related problems.<br>
<br>I would like to ask if any of you are successfully using Amazon as a voip hosting provider & what are the issues involved/stumbling blocks.<br><br>I am looking to install a sme multi-tenant production system and will be selling voip minutes to a small focus target segment. I am mostly a marketing man & a small-time hobby sys-admin, so I'd also like to know how difficult it is.<br>
<br>On a side note, I would like to solicit your opinion of <a href="http://www.sipwise.com/products/comparison/" target="_blank">Sipwise free & pro edition</a> especially with respect to deployment on Amazon cloud.<br>
<br>With best regards & thanks.<br><font color="#888888">
