FreeSwitch/voip on EC2 or other cloud/virtual services
Hello all I am looking to find out from users about voip on cloud, especially FS on Amazon EC2. Google gave very few results. There were very few positive posts/articles, among them Eric Wickstrom's post on this list around 2009<http://www.spinics.net/lists/freeswitch/msg03870.html>but many seemed to be having clock/echo related problems. 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. 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. On a side note, I would like to solicit your opinion of Sipwise free & pro edition <http://www.sipwise.com/products/comparison/> especially with respect to deployment on Amazon cloud. With best regards & thanks. Sanjay.
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. 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. How well it performs is probably best determined by setting it up yourself and doing some testing. -Steve On 5 July 2011 12:00, Sanjay Arora <sanjay.k.arora@gmail.com> wrote:

I keep hearing that amazon has unpredictable timing - I've been using Linode - xen - without any issues for FS for low volume. I tested 200 MOH channels on the lowest plan with only a few dropped packets. If you're running that volume, you can afford more than $20/month for their cheapest box with up to 39 other people on the same machine. Linode says their CPU is the most under-utilized resource. The clock tests in FS have always been good, but you can experiment with the 1000hz centos or new tickless + timerfd or something. But I've had very good experience with Linode for my virtualization. (just don't go California datacenter, HE has been having trouble...) -Avi Marcus On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 3:23 PM, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:

Honest: if you are not very, very, very into knowledge about kernels, how kernels keep timing, xen, FreeSWITCH, etc (but very into knowledge) *don't* put a production system in the cloud. Ask some consultant to do it for you (if you want to be in the cloud), or rent a real hardware server from some good server provider. -giovanni On 7/5/11, Avi Marcus <avi@avimarcus.net> wrote:

Actually I had thought of that...hiring a consultant to do the tuning of the cloud install...but some people are telling me that such tuning is going to be an ongoing job and I will have to keep on doing it thereby adding enough consultant cost to my itty-bitty project, so as to make cloud cost gains redundant. Is the issue faced one-time at install or am I going to face it again and again? And I assume I would face those issues on all virtual computers, wether at Amazone or linode? Rgds. Sanjay.
I am not sure I understand the reason for a cloud solution. Most of the time, it costs quite exactly the same and even more than a dedicated server.

There are probably good reasons to go for the cloud, but I think I am missing most of them;
For me its scaling up, without much work. Starting up I start up with a small EC2 instance, about 35$/month plus few dollars in bandwidth & I/O charges, similar to an entry level linode or synapseglobal vps. But migrating to a higher instance, medium instance around 175$ & so on. Snapshop backups are so easy in amazon, that I would not have setup & installation headaches again....simply save the instance to EBS & boot up in a medium or large instance......or so I think ;-) Many times I do tend to go on without understanding....so seeking third party confirmation before I embark ;-) Sanjay.
For $175 you can easily rent a full Dedicated Server w/ money left Over... Heck for $200 I¹ll rent you 2 dedicated servers On 7/5/11 10:18 AM, "Sanjay Arora" <sanjay.k.arora@gmail.com> wrote:

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... On 7/5/11 10:52 AM, "Sanjay Arora" <sanjay.k.arora@gmail.com> wrote:

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. Not having to worry about 'what if my server dies' is quite nice. 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. Chris On 5 July 2011 17:03, Ken Rice <krice@freeswitch.org> 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. -Steve On 5 July 2011 17:17, Chris Hemmings <chris@cheeky.org> wrote:

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:

Who said anything about a X month contract? Not to mention what happens when instance X goes batty and takes out Instance Y or at the minimal impacts CPU and I/O performance and leaves you with crappy sounding calls... Sure ³cloud² resource have some things that could be nice, like on demand adding a webserver or the like, but that¹s all store/forward services, not real time services... I¹m not willing to impact the call quality of a customer generating $1000s in monthly billables to save $50 by using a $50 EC2 instance when I can get a dedicated server for $100 to $150 and be assured that someone elses crazy process isnt going to affect mine... Sure this doesn¹t address issues such as bandwidth but you have that to deal with regardless of EC2 or Dedicated Server... Maybe I¹ve just spent to much time dealing in the carrier arena where things like capacity and quality matter... K On 7/5/11 11:17 AM, "Chris Hemmings" <chris@cheeky.org> wrote:

Hi, Just wanted to plug that Linode is satisfactorily like AWS Clouds. You can get routine snapshots (called backups), stack-scripts to deploy more servers of the same nature and geographical distribution. I've been using Linodes for 2 years now and very happy with it. I also have a t1.micro AWS instance running a test setup of FreeSwitch so if anybody want to try some test via Skype or SIP just let me know. Ciao, Kerem Kerem Erciyes - Sistem Danismani http://keremerciyes.com
