Hi brain thanks for your reply. You say in almost all cases you would recommend esb backed device's. Can I ask why? Iam looking to migrate to instance store from ebs mainly for io reliability issues.
I am having io issues with ebs backed instances the io can be very erratic and cause my sites to have very slow response times from time to time. I have currently put the code and logs on an ephemeral partition and the sites are much more stable. I have no reason to keep any code or data that is on the server after reboot or termination.
