First time ever I deploy and run Java Spring applications on Tomcat + MySQL combo in Amazon cloud, single node, 1GB RAM, 8GB disk. Actually the cloud on the top of sky of Arizona, West of United States.

So impressed with the high performance and snappy response with the applications in cloud than the SAME applications farming on an ISP clusters Down-Under.

Cloud here we go ...

how about AWS in "Sydney" region?

+Oleg Kiorsak Don't know. When I offered to pick up a cloud, it's blue sky over Sydney ...

you need to switch to APAC Sydney
before launching (eighth top corner dropdown )

Why can't Amazon find where I come from? My IP is in Telstra.

changing to Sydney will give a noticeable improvement to your request latency :) Even going from Singapore to Sydney makes a decent difference

hei, does any one know why Singapore has some weirdo launch wizard - not like any other... i.e. something telling about "number of IP adresses" and
also an extra section dealing with "ETH interface" (and IP addr)...
??
I kinda can figure out what it's all about - but WHY so different from others?

Terrence Miao - 2013-07-11 18:10:35+1000

Yep, have found Sydney now.

I've just been doing some stuff today - bombarding non-stop an ActiveMQ JMS broker with message from a Windows Box multi-threaded multi-client-simulation in a Sydney AWS EC2 region...

when the VM with ActiveMQ is in same region (Sydney) - I get 55 msgs/per sec of this "raw power" throughput... but when ActiveMQ instance is in US-EAST - 30 (thirty !!!) times slower... about 100 msgs per minute
when in Singapore - no much better than US actually...
