Join Peter De Santis, Vice President of Amazon Compute Services, and Matt Garman, Vice President of Amazon EC2 as they share a ''behind the scenes'' look at the evolution of compute at AWS. You hear about the drivers behind the innovations we've introduced, and learn how we've scaled our compute services to meet dramatic usage growth.
13. We use Amazon EC2 to serve hundreds of millions of Pinterest users. Our C1 to C3 migration of over 1200 app servers took no more than three days while reducing the EC2 instance footprint by 75%,
and adding 30% more compute capacity.
Such a project could easily take up to 3 months and some serious project management in a traditional data center environment.

18. “Is there no minimum guaranteed level of CPU performance?”
“I could get all of a core or be totally starved?”
“It would be great to get solid lower bound on physical CPU allocation even if it was indeed low, so we know what to expect.”

21. General Purpose (SSD) Volumes
SSD-backed
•3 IOPS per GB of baseline performance
•Burst up to 3000 IOPS for 30 minutes
Target use cases
•Boot volumes
•Small to medium database
Only 0.3% of volumes run out of burst credits
23. Glympse is a fast, free, and simple way to share your location in real time with the people you trust.
I LOVEthe T2 instances. I'm shocked and surprised at how well they perform. We saw a 74% cost savingsin moving to them..
