Benchmark Test Results for

m5.xlarge

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	283.3MB
AES-256 CBC	201.0MB
MD5	1.5GB
SHA256	766.3MB
SHA512	1.0GB

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	2571	2063
Deviation	978.74	1197.1
Min	622	602

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.

AI-summarized insights

Filter by:

We have deployed a web application on an m5.xlarge EC2 instance and when we try to buy an annual or 3 years reserved license, AWS recommends based on our current usage it is recommended to purchase 54 t2.nano instances instead of the m5.xlarge we have now.

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

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

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

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.
