[Discuss] AWS Linux server scaling question

[drew.vanzandt at gmail.com (Drew Van Zandt)]

Micro   (610.0MB RAM, 1 CPU): $0.020 per hour
Small    (1.70GB RAM, 1 CPU): $0.060 per hour
Medium (3.75GB RAM, 2 CPU): $0.120 per hour

A typical Apache process on this server is taking 7-8% memory, 4% CPU per
top.  MySQL (untuned) is pegging the CPU and 10% memory.  Note that the
Micro instance can actually use 2 CPUs for brief moments, but the Small
gets more cycles steady-state on its single CPU.  In other words, Micro
gets something like 0.75 CPU, but can use it as 2 CPUs 30% of the time and
0.07 CPUs the rest.  Small is 1 CPU 100% of the time.
