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	N/A	N/A
Average	N/A	N/A
Deviation	N/A	N/A
Min	N/A	N/A

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.

@blamb I believe the R* series of instance types generally have more memory (RAM) than the corresponding T* instance types. I'm not aware of any better "handling" of the memory.

Hi, did you try a different path: export your VirtualBox image as an .OVA file and then use EC2 VM import to load it onto EC2- See Export as OVA: The full import process is described here:

I would assume that the recommendation to switch from T3 to R5 for network connectivity reasons is because a T3 instance has "up to 5Gbps" network performance, while an R5 server will have "up to 10Gbps" or more depending on the specific size you pick.

Do .mental instances keep accruing compute charges when they are shutdown?

The r instance family is memory-optimized, which you might use for in-memory databases, real-time processing of unstructured big data, or Hadoop/Spark clusters.

Hi, we have procured r5 (EC2 Instance savings plan) can this instance type be converted to r6i at later stage? Thanks
