A question, with such high load, why not run it on dedicated hardware with PCI express SSDs? You are paying around $1000-2500 per month for the instance type for that you can get dedicated machine and lessen the total number of servers.

Or use Google Cloud which will stick a 375GB PCIe SSD in your VM for $80 a month.

Yeah their SSD pricing example seemed to blow AWS away http://googlecloudplatform.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/understan...

Awesome.. As much as I dislike Google as a business, I love their engineering and despite being totally biased coming on to GCP, they won me entirely in a day. We're so, so very much happier dealing with GCP. No RAID to get perf - just ask for more. No complexity. Simple, damn fast, and cheap.

I cannot imagine how Azure or AWS compete (esp Azure - even without making a cheap comment about their terrible new portal) when it comes to IaaS. GCP is just flat out better.

We have been using FusionIO cards to get effect.
