Here are the stats for the last 6 hrs on the t2 small instance, there is no disk utilization at all really I guess its all done in memory. The only time it needs to write or read from disk is starting or stopping a server and that is bugger all anyway.



I will shut it down soon and try to run 3 servers off it and see how it goes.

There's no memory graph.  I think you can add one somehow - it maybe important, especially if you run multiple servers...

Surprised it doesn't have a memory graph but I did run 5 servers with a couple full ones and some on the others at times with no issues. Maybe for mem data you need to enable detailed monitoring which costs more and if it runs fine I dont see the point in spending more to do that.

Whenever someone suggested another car I just opened another server quite simple as all you need is to run start "C:\AC Server" acserver.exe -c=cfg/server_cfg1.ini -e=cfg/entry_list1.ini

with -c= name and location of config with e being the entry list. Each server just needs its own ports and then its good to go. I have just kept these all in the same config folder naming them with a number for server number but you could just as easily simply make a seperate cfg folder for each keeping the default naming structure.



ATM I am limited to 5 as I only openend enough ports for 5 servers but could likely run more especially as they wont all be filling up that often.

Interesting - I haven't noticed the lack of the memory usage graph !  (And I've a server with detailed monitoring running - pretty ugly oversight)
And what's worse, there seems to be no easy way to get there; only with cloudwatch somehow (I haven't read the details)

I just spammed the lobby with 8 servers  ;D

Doubt they will all fill up but wonder if it will chit itself or keep on going.

Winblows for sure, AC is optimized for it.

Yea it is windowz, did manage to make the servers all die with 9 on but thats after I shut them all down and restarted likely having lots of guys stuck in Kunos space.

I did try a single server at 20 hz and it dies but also didnt do a full restart and had guys stuck in it before that happened.

For comparison, here is the c3.large instance on a Tuesday night:
