CPU Encryption Speed Benchmarks

Cloud Mercato tested CPU performance using a range of encryption speed tests:

Encryption Algorithm Speed (1024 Block Size, 3 threads)
AES-128 CBC 141.8MB
AES-256 CBC 100.7MB
MD5 926.9MB
SHA256 396.2MB
SHA512 529.8MB
I/O Performance

Cloud Mercato's tested the I/O performance of this instance using a 100GB General Purpose SSD. Below are the results:

Read Write
Max 3100 3100
Average 1797 1127
Deviation 1362.59 1246.04
Min 304 13

I/O rate testing is conducted with local and block storages attached to the instance. Cloud Mercato uses the well-known open-source tool FIO. To express IOPS the following parametersare used: 4K block, random access, no filesystem (except for write access with root volume and avoidance of cache and buffer.

The M7 instances have a slight speed advantage even though the overall specification is the same with 2vCPU and 8GB of memory.

Amazon EC2 M5 instances are the latest generation of General Purpose Instances powered by Intel Xeon® Platinum 8175M processors. This family provides a balance of compute, memory, and network resources, and is a good choice for many applications.

The m5.xlarge isn\'t a particularly large server, so it\'s more difficult to split it up. I would stay with m series, the smaller is m5.large so you would probably scale between 1 and 3 of them. If it\'s a fairly steady state application and the cost isn\'t a problem the easiest option is to stay with your m5.xlarge.

The m5 instance type is similar, but for more consistent workloads. It has a nice balance of CPU, memory, and disk.

The m5 instance type is similar, but for more consistent workloads. It has a nice balance of CPU, memory, and disk. It’s not hard to see why almost half of EC2 workloads [are on “m” instances].

c5 is compute optimized instance type and m5 is general instance type.

Monitor your instance performance and increase\decrease instance type within series according to measurements (AWS also shows when instance is overprovisioned or underprovisioned in AWS EC2 console).

If you expect high traffic, consider using m5.large or c5.large instances, which offer more CPU and memory to handle increased load.

For a high-traffic e-commerce site:`m5.large` or `c5.large`

Better CPU and networking for the same price ... that sounds good to me!

I think, and I could be very wrong - that's why I asked - "network performance in AWS speak" is the processor to disk performance since I'm using EBS storage. So this M5 instance request falls under #'s 1 and 2 in your list. Classical network performance is WAN latency and bandwidth to/from the client And, as I mentioned, the M5 FMS Cloud instance is the same price for better CPU and network performance.

M5.large and C5d.large are essentially the same price as t2.large, still use EBS, are faster CPUs and offer higher network performance.

The provided content does not contain any user feedback or reviews related to specific instances like m5. Therefore, I cannot extract any information based on the given criteria.
