I am running HAProxy 1.4.18 on a c1.medium EC2 ubuntu 12.10 instance and
have had very good success with it so far. However, I need to make it
capable of handling short-term bursts of 5,000 simultaneous requests.
These burst will typically last for 5-10 minutes max. I have been unable
to drive this much load through it so far. I've read mixed reviews about
running HAProxy on virtual instances and the performance penalties, but
does anyone have any suggestions for maximum performance tuning of haproxy
on EC2? Thanks.
