Looking at completely moving our dev infrastructure to the cloud, and set up a datacenter 64 bit Large server on EC2.
Performance is terrible. There is a distinct lag between doing stuff and seeing it happen on the screen. We've tried rdp from XP, windows 7, vista , all have the same issues. This is *without* progress installed
I don't think that it's the network connection, as we have a 100MB leased line, and everything else is still as fast as excrement off a digging device.
Is there anyone with any clues ? We've tried three different images now, with the same issues.

Are you using EMEA or the US as your Region?
I've not experienced lag in the way your describing it. I've had the odd moment but that's what it's been, an odd moment rather than the norm. Have you tried RDP to non Amazon machines to see how that performs?
RDP to everywhere but Amazon is great.
We're using the EMEA region

I haven't had problems with the smaller images.
From a license point of view, are you able to do this though? Can you get the necessary TS CALs to use the EC2 machines for development?

Thomas
Yeah, we point the server to our ts licence server back in the office.

Are you sure that is legit? I've been wanting to find a way to do the same thing. We are very dependent on using TS for development - so we need more licenses than just the admin CAL that comes with EC2.
I can't see why it's not legit - we've bought TS licenses per user,
the user logs on to TS A (internal) or TS B (external), and grabs the
appropriate licence from our licence server - what's the difference if
TS B was internal ?

The fact that MS requires that you have both Windows CALs and TS CALs for the server. You have the TS CALs - but not the Windows CALs, as Amazon is using some sort of SPLA license with MS to provide you with the OS license, but as an admin user.
At least that is how it works on in-house servers or serves we host ourselves. We have yet to find out how we can use out own licenses or SPLA licenses on something like Amazon.
So I am just curios about whether or not this is a usable setup for development. Anyone at PSC know anything about this?
Sorry - I am hijacking your thread here...

Hmm, I wait too, then Another reason to move to Ajax and html5 and linux

Just curious, how did your performance issues got resolved?
