Sizing of EC2 Proxy appliance

[cristiano.cumer]

Hello,

is there a way to specify different types of EC2 proxy instances? I need a memory optimised one since I need 64 GB of ram to be able to archive some huge VMs.

Thanks!

Hello,
Question: what makes you think, that you need an EC2 proxy appliance with 64GB RAM? Do smaller archiver appliance fail to bring the data to Glacier?

To answer your question: yes, there is a registry key for that. Support can help here (normally I would just post it, but this key is restricted for special use-cases only).

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

yes, smaller appliance do fail, so I was told by support. I guess I will wait for them to give me the key.

Thanks

Hello,

here it is:

05467789

for the future I'm trying to persuade my colleague to split a file server cluster in many smaller ones.

hmm, as I read through the case, I'm not sure whether more RAM is really the solution... I will do some investigations.
