[asterisk-users] Asterisk and cloud computing (amazon EC2 + S3)
Hey folks, I'm looking to potentially take some of my Asterisk servers and see how well they fare in a cloud computing environment such as Amazon EC2 + S3. I was curious to hear feedback from anyone who's willing to share their experience if they've already done the same. Have you had a positive experience and if not with Amazon, what other grid computing platform? Was it horrible and you'll never go back to it? Great ordeal of jitter/noise? Thanks a lot for your insight. :-) /sf

Asterisk is a well-grounded system service. It does not belong in the clouds; the weather alone up there is quite pernicious.

I use Amazon EC2 when my capacity reach the max limit. Because I don't have control on witch datacenter or Internet connection my new virtual machine will start I got some problems, not very often, with low bandwith and now I'm working on a new AMI with watchdogs for voice quality and latency issues. My plan is to use AWS just for transcoding... Maybe some other guys in community use it for IVRs or gateways... I'm curios to find out :) Best regards, Chris Hariga MyPBX.

If I needed Asterisk access from anywhere I'd just run it locally on my laptop, connect to an ITSP via IAX or SIP, and run a softphone app locally. The only exception I can think of is when you'd want people to be able to leave voicemail on your system when you're not connected. What are the other reasons for wanting to run it in the cloud?<br><br><br>On Sep 9, 2008, at 7:56 PM, Steve Finkelstein wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">Hey folks,<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">I'm looking to potentially take some of my Asterisk servers and see<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">how well they fare in a cloud computing environment such as Amazon EC2<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">+ S3.
