I am working on requirement to host multi tenant Cassandra cluster (or set of clusters) on Amazon EC2 (AWS).
With everything else sorted out, I have below question where I am looking for recommendations: Does Amazon's recent support of EBS optimized images changes whole discussion around EBS vs. ephemeral drives and image size? * Option 1: reserved m1.xlarge (4x420GB drives) is $0.187/hr * Option 2: reserved m1.large EBS-optimized is $0.119/hr (~$50/month less than m1.xlarge, but $168/month for 4x420 standard EBS volumes): costs $120/month more, but additional recovery options Given Cassandra is designed to survive failures, combining replication factor 3 and backing-up to S3, I think should be enough for back up. Please advise.
