wait what?
did you configure a 40,000 IOP server?
ok, my estimate was close then
tbh, that doesn't even seem that crazy, since I assume you're actually reading/writing a normal amount then
why the fuck are they charging you for making a small volume of storage like that available
ok Regi, not meming
could you just configure everything in RAM?
pay for a REALLY slow drive
and then just load everything into RAM when the instance starts
this is the Windows ramdisk way
on Debian it's pretty easy too from what I remember
but uh, I think it would actually solve your problem, since Ramdisks are transparent to your OS
and then I think you could even replicate files to your slow 500iop configured drive so you have some protection if everything crashes
at least to save off your text files or w/e
if you don't want to go this route, I could see you dropping by a factor of 10 (2500 each) on your configured IOP, depending on how much you're actually writing to disk
reduce that price to ~$10/hour
which isn't nothing
with a ramdisk, you could probably go 500iops
all the AWS links I find are of people using specific Amazon products getting ramdisk to work
but it should work for you I think
ok, scientific answer
just figure out what one of your VMs running eats up
and multiply that out
I still think your host could probably survive being at 2500
track the number of disk interactions you have per second
and multiply by 2 I think
cool, hope it confirms you can drop your speed lower
or else your cost to run these is just silly
so, if you drop it to 4500 per, 9k total
cost goes down to ~$20/hour
oh wait, I can't math
$11/hour

I'm blaming you for that confusion
ok yeah, the math makes more sense now
still weird af how they bill you for that
go make your million dollars Regi
we believe in you

really good deal
they've been doing a lot of those "buy 2x20TB, buy 2x14TB, etc." deals
So.... about them IOPS

I had a dream that Edgar Allen Poe died
was pretty sad
I had a dream that my toilet clogged after I shit, then it unclogged and it went down before I plunger'd it
idk what it means about my psychological state
i had a pretty wild multi-stage dream last night
