Micros are "burstable", which means that they are inconsistent. They are fine for short burst of cpu usage, but if you use "more than your share" for longer than a few minutes at a time, or too many bursts within a given a window, they'll start chocking your CPU. Having said that, What Ed is describing here looks more like a physical that's dying, I'd stop and start that instance (or re-provision if it's cattle) to get it to a different physical. If you're not afraid to use AWS as a bunch of services, rather than a platform, than ELB + auto scale should have taken care of this issue. -- Yves. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
