Many thanks to Adam Brett for his great tutorial "Amazon Server Creation".

I created my first "instance" today and thanks to the tutorial I had no
problems getting it to run.

I installed the EDBSever, but in my case the remote connection is quite
slow. Adam described it as "ultrafast". Has anyone else used this scenario?

Regards Uli

Uli,

I have used the EC instances with DBISAM (not EDB) but performance has always been good - no complaints so never really measured it.

Are you saying the same app is a lot slower over EC2 vs regular internet hosted server ?  Do make sure its hosted in a region close to you and/or your customer(s).

Yes, exactly. Also uploading files by a RDS-connection takes very long
while my connection generelly is very good.

Do make sure its hosted in a region close to you and/or your customer(s).

I chose the closest one in Ireland (I am accessing it from Germany).

Thanks Uli
