15. New Storage Options
• EBS – Provisioned IOPS volumes
EBS • Deliver predictable, high performance for I/O intensive workloads
PIOPS • Specify IOPS required upfront, and EBS provisions for lifetime of volume
– 1000 IOPS per volume, can stripe to get thousands of IOPS to EC2
instance
SSD • High IO Instances – hi1.4xlarge
• For applications that require 10s of thousands of IOPS
• Eliminates network latency as a performance constraint to storage
+ • EBS Optimized Instances
• Enables instances to fully utilize IOPS provisioned on an EBS volume
• Dedicated instance throughput to EBS – 500 Mbps and 1000 Mbps

16. Test: random 4k reads
EBS One Volume: ~200 MongoOPS with some variability, <1mb/s
Loaded instance: ~ 1000 MongoOPS with some variability <10mb/s
+
PIOPS One Volume: 1010 MongoOPS with <1% variability, 3mb/s
Loaded Instance: 10004 MongoOPS with <1% variability, 30mb/s
SSD Hi1.4xlarge ephemeral: ~64,000 MongoOPS with low variability, ~245mb/s

Get Big Fast
and shrink quickly too

22. 10 Million records
44 GB collection
2,000 ops
1000% expected growth

30. Shrink quickly too
Go from m2.4xlarge to m1.medium in

31. Shrink quickly too
Go from m2.4xlarge to m1.medium in
Three easy steps so that you can save

32. Shrink quickly too
Go from m2.4xlarge to m1.medium in
Three easy steps so that you can save
90% of the compute cost when you don’t need it…
