Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) has added a number of instance types that provide a high level of performance. Instances range from compute-optimized instances to instances that deliver thousands of IOPS. In this session, you will learn more about Amazon EC2 high performance instance types and hear from customers about how they are using these instances to improve application performance, and reduce costs.
24. Advantages of using hi1.4xlarge with C*
• Higher application speed
• Efficient operations & better data quality
• Cost savings

25. Higher Application Speeds
• Compared m2.4xlarge & hi1.xlarge
• 6 node C* cluster with 250 GB data on each node
• Used following Cassandra Stress tool & Options
from three m2.4xlarge clients:
– cassandra-stress -d [server-list] -t 25 -r -p 7102 -n 1000000000 -k -o

30. Efficient C* Operations & Better Data Quality
• Cassandra => “benefit now, pay later”
– Immutable SSTABLES need to be compacted
– Can compact faster & with less impact
• Eventual Consistency
– Repairs run more often
– Increased Consistency without higher CL calls

31. Cost Savings
• Can now have multi-tenant clusters
– Savings immediate on the second application
– m2.4xlarge is $1.640 per hour
– hi1.4xlarge is $3.100 per hour

32. Cost Savings
• Use Less Nodes
– Data : Memory ratio can now be bigger
– Cluster size doesn’t need to be doubled as often
Friday, November 15, 13
33. Cost Savings
• Smaller Operational Footprint
– Less clusters
– Smaller operational teams
– Less fire-fighting
– Team can focus on automation

34. hi1.4xlarge caveats
• 10 Gbps not attained (in our model)
– Need to be part of the same Cluster Placement Group
– Netflix cross-zone availability model excludes CPG
• Not same as bare metal SSD running on Linux
– Virtualization obfuscates some SSD advantages
