You benefit from putting commit log on separate drive only if this drive is an isolated spinning device. EC2 ephemeral is a virtual device, so I don't think it makes sense to put commit log on a separated drive. I would build raid0 from 4 drives and put everything their. But it would be interesting to compare different configurations.
