RE: Databases on AWS EC2

"That huge cost saving by moving to the cloud? Consider it well ...."

=> On top of that, the performance starts to decrease drastically with Azure Gen4 CPU once your load exceeds 50%, which might indicate that you're getting hyper-threads on the same physical CPU core. Also, there are only two types of (a bit older) Intel CPUs to choose from: Gen4: Intel E5-2673 v3 (Haswell) 2,4 GHz, Gen5: Intel E5-2673 v4 (Broadwell) 2,3 GHz.

Nowadays, there are CPUs which provide a much better value for money, like Intel Xeon Platinum 8158 CPU 3GHz .

The above is true if you are not running Oracle Linux on Azure. If you are, the core factors come back into play again.

I did an Azure migration to Windows recently (ok, about two years ago!) and it started with pay for the licence as you use it, then it was bring your own licence, then they messed with the core factors. Nothing like screwing your customers! :(

That huge cost saving by moving to the cloud? Consider it well ....
