AWS Ec2 instance recommendations on Qliksense server

Level4Qlik — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 12:46:52 GMT

Our Cloud team has suggested to move from intel based AWS Ec2 instances to AMD based EC2 instances.
Below/attached current and recommended instance types with RAM, CPU and Network details.

Current EC2 Config

Instance type	Environment	Current vCPU	Current RAM	Network	Hardware
r5.12xlarge	Prod	48	384	10 Gigabit	Intel
r5.8xlarge	Development	32	256	10 Gigabit	Intel
r5.12xlarge	Prod	48	384	10 Gigabit	Intel
r5.12xlarge	Prod	48	384	10 Gigabit	Intel

Recommended EC2 Config

Apptio Recommeded Instance type	Apptio vCPU	Apptio RAM	Network	Hardware
r6a.12xlarge	48	384	15 Gigabit	AMD
r6a.8xlarge	32	256	12.5 Gigabit	AMD
r6a.12xlarge	48	384	15 Gigabit	AMD
r6a.12xlarge	48	384	15 Gigabit	AMD

We want to know how would be the performance of the new instance.

Hi,

Performance of the new instance will be slightly better due to better AWS technologies and a greater max CPU frequency (3,1 Ghz for current, 3,6 Ghz for new (turbo)).

By the way, it's a good practice to upgrade EC2 instance to the newer one. Costs are lower (up to 35%) while performance are slighlty better.
