Hi list!
I am wondering what instance type is best for a small cassandra cluster on
AWS.
Actually I'd like to compare, or have your opinion about the following
instances:
- r5*d*.xlarge (4vCPU, *19*ecu, 32GB ram and 1 NVMe instance store 150GB)
- Need to attach a 600/900GB ESB
- i3.xlarge (4vCPU, *13ecu, *30.5GB ram and 9.5TB NVMe instance store)
Both have up to 10Gb networking.
I see AWS mark i3 as the NoSQL DB instances nevertheless r5d seems bit
better CPU wise. Putting a decently sized gp2 EBS I should have enough IOPS
especially we think to put commitlog and such on the 150GB NVMe storage.
About the workload: mostly TWCS inserts and upserts on LCS.
What's you thought?
PS: I would really avoid going for 8vCPU.
