Hi I plan to host Asterisk instances on AWS/EC2 servers. Requirement is to run asterisk instance with transcoding (g.729 + g.711) and full recording. Number of concurrent calls expected are 500+. 2 instances will be configured for 100% redundancy. Heart beat will be used to determine active instance. How should I choose EC2 instance? How many vCPU, RAM should be selected? I am assuming that server with ssd is required as all 500+ calls needs to be recorded.

Why use Amazon? With that kind of load I would want dedicated servers. Call Rackspace or Softlayer. j On 03/06/2015 11:59 AM, Amit Patkar wrote:> Hi > > I plan to host Asterisk instances on AWS/EC2 servers. > Requirement is to run asterisk instance with transcoding (g.729 + > g.711) and full recording.

Hi Jeff Are you aware of any challenges of hosting it on AWS? It will help me to work out alternate plan. Is there any recommendation? Should I split it to multiple instances and balance traffic across multiple small server instances? I can use Kamailio to balance traffic. I see many posts referring to AWS deployment. Please help me to choose AWS server instance. *Thanks & Regards,* Amit Patkar On 3/7/2015 12:19 AM, Jeff LaCoursiere wrote:> > Why use Amazon? With that kind of load I would want dedicated > servers.
