 |

Hi
I plan to host Asterisk instances on AWS/EC2 servers.
Requirement is to run asterisk instance with transcoding (g.729 + g.711) and full recording. Number of concurrent calls expected are 500+. 2 instances will be configured for 100% redundancy. Heart beat will be used to determine active instance.
How should I choose EC2 instance?
How many vCPU, RAM should be selected? I am assuming that server with ssd is required as all 500+ calls needs to be recorded.
Regards,
Amit Patkar |

Why use Amazon? With that kind of load I would want dedicated servers. Call Rackspace or Softlayer.

Hi Jeff
Are you aware of any challenges of hosting it on AWS? It will help me to work out alternate plan. Is there any recommendation? Should I split it to multiple instances and balance traffic across multiple small server instances? I can use Kamailio to balance traffic.
I see many posts referring to AWS deployment. Please help me to choose AWS server instance.

Amazon instances are shared resources. I wouldn't want to count on timing or disk throughput, and you can't just ask them to do "ssd" - its a virtual machine! 500 simultaneous recordings is a hefty load, and I would want to know that the underlying hardware is dedicated to the task.
Sure you see lots of posts about hosting asterisk and/or freeswitch on EC2. I have done it myself and even have some clients doing it now *for proof of concept*. I've never heard of anyone using it for the kind of load you are talking about. I'm assuming with such a giant load you are making a decent profit. Buy some hefty hardware and do the architecture properly. You can rent half a rack at lots of high end datacenters for less than $1000/month.

Digital ocean offers ssd on all the virtual machines. Uptime is good.

Still a shared resource. I don't see the benefit.
Even beyond the shared resource bit, with the kind of IO you are likely to be pushing, you will want a decent NAS with lots of spindles and fibre channel to your hosts.

Agreed, network will be bottleneck even with ssd on shared resource. For a stable env having a dedicated hosted server will be the best approach and cheaper too.
