About Neev

Outsourced Product Development

• Offered by Amazon.com over the internet

• AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the most popular and robust cloud hosting

interface

• It is a collection of web services that makes up a cloud computing platform

• The core services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3

• AWS offerings are accessed over HTTP using REST and SOAP protocols

• Millions of sites and some of the Internet’s most popular sites, portals and e-

Commerce Sites run on Amazon Web Services

AWS (Amazon Web Services) Overview

• Launched by Ben Uretsky in 2011

• American cloud computing provider which provides scalable virtual private servers

in multiple locations and DNS hosting

• Multiple server instances can be created using the same account, each server

referred to by DigitalOcean as a ‘droplet’

• Various actions may be performed on any given ‘droplet’, such as powering off,

booting, renaming, and many others.

• DigitalOcean provides users with an API that can be used to manage their droplets

• In this way it makes cloud computing very user friendly and easily manageable.

DigitalOcean (DO) Overview

• We set up base Magento on AWS as well as on DigitalOcean (DO) (SSD based

cloud) and did some tests using sample data

• We used two identically tuned LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP)setups. The

configurations used were:

1. On AWS – 2 virtual cores, 1.7GB memory (with and without IOPS were checked)

2. On DO – 2 virtual cores, 2GB memory

• Presently we are loading more data and doing some more tests, but our

preliminary findings are indicated in the following slides

Observations on the Test Run

Note : All results based on output obtained from whichloadsfaster.com*Results based on preliminary tests, more tests are underway

• In all cases, AWS version was faster loading by 20 to 30% on reasonably comparable configurations.

• When the DO machine is bumped up to 8GB quad-core (which is still half the cost of a medium EC2), it still comes very close to matching the medium EC2 performance.

• Please note that the results obtained in these tests were based on a particular sample and are not conclusive.
