Hello, Today I did performance tests (some kind of) between Linode 4GB and AWS t2.medium - just to see which one is faster in this situation. Test results are quite similar between these two - which is a bit interesting (or probably not - let me know what do you think), because AWS t2.medium are 2 vCPU, but Linode 4GB are 4vCPU and SSD. Any additional information you can find in spreadsheet. Test methodology - each request/query was executed in sync order 100 times (so 1 requests isn't cached - all others I assume is) Data was indexed in AWS machine and after that synced (with rsync) to Linode (so data set is completely same and both instances Elasticsearch config is completely same). - Java version same (Open-jdk 7) - Linux dist. same (Ubuntu 14.04 64bit) - 1 index/1 shard - Custom tokenization process (which generates a lot of tokens when indexing happens - that's why there is 8.4GB in total from 3.2GB of RAW data) As measurement I take "took" property from Elasticsearch response. This wasn't stress test or something like that - each query was executed 100 times in sync order - just to if there is difference. Cluster (single node) - wasn't on stress or something like this - just these queries... Spreadsheet - [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zoxtww3Vo1EFTzwVp08eHK7i8lHriszPNH31EiUZcAc/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zoxtww3Vo1EFTzwVp08eHK7i8lHriszPNH31EiUZcAc/edit?usp=sharing) So, the question is - Why AWS results are almost same as Linode? I would expect that Linode is faster than AWS t2.medium. Thank you! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Can you mention the clock Speed as I know T2's is upto 3.3 GHz -- Thanks Arshpreet singh > **[my net house](https://arshpreetsingh.wordpress.com/)** > > WAHEGURU....! I have no special talents.
