No way you can run a production voice server on a small instance. You need at least, at lest, a medium instance. That's because of how irq are handled. Reason to be in the cloud is automatica geo load bancing, automatic start of instances on traffic spikes. That begins to be cost effective when you run at least some virtual machines. In your case, go for dedicated hardware ;) -giovanni On 7/5/11, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:

You still have to worry about that though. What if process X crashes? What if the data centre fails. What if the data centre has an outage and loses all your data ( http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2007/10/02/amazon-ec2-outage-wip... )
It just encourages people to be complacent because it becomes someone elses problem and because since they're paying for it to be managed for them they're assuming nothing can go wrong.

I must admit I'm a bit of a Cloud/VM fan. The thought of not having to think about the actual hardware you are running on is quite liberating.

Creating a quick instance based on the one I'm currently running to test something and not be tied into a X month contract.
Adding/Removing capacity to my VM as and when I want to.

Its not specifically that easy, however keep in mind, that a $100 Dedicated server, on reasonable bandwidth will probably handle more traffic then you can imagine...

For $175 you can easily rent a full Dedicated Server w/ money left Over...
Heck for $200 I’ll rent you 2 dedicated servers
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind ;-)
But is scaling to a higher server as easy as it would be in Amazon...just boot up in a higher instance....or am I deluding myself?
