We need to populate database which sits on Amazon WS { EC2 (Compute Cluster Eight extra large) + EBS 1TB }. Given that we have close to 700GB of data on local, how can I find out the time (theoretical) it would take to upload the entire data? I could not find any information on data upload/download speeds for EC2?
Since this will depend strongly on the networking betweeen your site and amazon’s data centre…
Test it with a few GB and extrapolate.
Be aware of AWS Import/Export and consider the option of simply couriering Amazon a portable hard drive. (Old saying: “Never underestimate the bandwidth of a stationwagon full of tape”). In fact I note the page includes a section “When to use…” which gives some indication of transfer times vs. connection bandwidth.
