I`ve recently read this article about a user losing data on EC2 when dealing with low resources on EC2. This made me wonder if there is any documentation of what will happen to apps running on EC2 or GAE when they run out of resources. Do they terminate, are frozen until the next cycle or some payment going through, or perhaps something else? How can one mitigate the risks associated with the services running out of resources (aside from, obviously, paying more)?
GAE just stops giving you the depleted resource.
EC2 is “pay as you go” for some resources (network, uptime, etc…) – so you just get billed more. Some other (cpu / memory) are predefined and just serve as much as they can, like “regular” cpu and memory.
