FS in Amazon EC2 for production?
Hello my friends. Has anyone used the EC2 for production? Tests? I'm wondering if it would be "better" to have a FS system in the cloud for carrier-to-carrier connections. Any ideas will be appreciated Thanks 2 u all Edwin Villarreal World Net Commerce SA CV WNC Telecom
We have used FS on ec2 for testing purposes only. It was ok. We havn't done any performance test though. Best regards Peter Ing. Edwin Villarreal schrieb:

Not with FreeSWITCH in our testing. Now if you have stupid defaults in your virtualization env. it might act funny but I have run FS on EC2 without a problem. /b On May 26, 2009, at 1:05 AM, John Nicholson wrote:

Hey Brian, FreeSWITCH in EC2 is a bit of a mystery to me... Call me old fashioned but in my mind VoIP and geography are linked in %99 of scenarios. Having VoIP services in a pure "cloud" environment just doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Consider a "hosted" environment with clients registered to a FreeSWITCH server. One day your instance is physically running on hardware in Seattle. The next day it could (potentially) be running in Chicago. That's obviously a very different routing path for your clients. Even /if/ Amazon (or whomever) employs every routing/network trick in the book you still won't be able to get over that change in geography. It's certainly possible a change like this may very well never happen in practice. I wouldn't know; I've never used EC2 and I don't even know that much about it. I'm just curious how well strictly, practically speaking this will work in the long term. -- Kristian Kielhofner http://www.astlinux.org http://blog.krisk.org http://www.star2star.com http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.voalte.com

For some people this isn't a huge difference... now if it were to swap continents then yes it would be a problem. But I haven't seen Amazon do this but I haven't left the instances up long enough to see.

There are other companies that do this stuff but personally me... I want my stuff running on real hardware. Brian West brian@freeswitch.org -- Meet us at ClueCon! http://www.cluecon.com
There is a cloud computing company named 3Tera (AppLogic) that does have an international presence and will keep your FreeSWITCH instance running on a dedicated server using Xen and HA. I spoke with one of their senior engineers about 1 month ago in regards to actually setting up an LCR scenario using their servers located in Europe and the United States. These guys are a little different in the cloud computing world and I believe closer fit the needs of a telephony application. As-is, there are companies using 3tera for their Asterisk installs. So if you want cloud computing with dedicated hardware resources and a set geographic location, then these guys do it. Kind of the best of both worlds. Just a quick 2 cents...

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. Erik On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 7:15 AM, Raffaele P.

Well actually I have an average 15 telemarketers running on a small (650 euros) server with the same load (an average 1%). Of course availability and scalability are on a different level but it's no easy to build a case - which is the more cost effective scenario with this and a growing (50+ operators) load? Things to think about. Regards, Raffaele On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 18:18, Erik Wickstrom <erik@erikwickstrom.com>wrote:
