Cloud Sizing Tool Summary Select the appropriate Amazon EC2 instance type, pricing, and EBS storage

configuration

Analyzes over 200 possible combinations to recommend the best match

Real Server Benchmarking based on actual usage not synthetic workloads

Measure Memory, CPU, Disk IOPS, Network I/O, & Storage

How Does The AWS Sizing Tool Work?

Based on a proprietary CopperEgg server benchmark derived from industry standards measuring: CPU, memory, storage, disk IOPS, and network I/O metrics under actual user

load over a 24 hour duty cycle

Specific recommendations are itemized for each user in a customized Cloud Sizing Report Maps server-specific benchmark measurements to appropriate Amazon EC2

instance types and EBS storage configurations

Cloud Sizing Report includes Per server detailed averages and 95th percentile averages for CPU, active

memory, used storage, disk throughput, disk IOPS, and network I/O Recommended EC2 instances detailing the related costs per hour, per month

(Reserved Instances), or per month (on-demand)

Real Server Benchmarking

Real Server Benchmarking (aka Application Benchmarking) provides a much more precise way to measure load over synthetic tests:1. Measures performance against the actual application and

user load (versus pre-canned tests)2. Ensures the best matching EC2 instance recommendation

by running over a full 24 hour period

Similar to Real User Monitoring (RUM) concepts Provides much more accurate app performance

measurements versus synthetic app performance approaches
