Is anyone else surprised the EC2 Micro did so well?
If you read the EC2 forums[1] for any amount of time you get used to seeing post after post of "hung sites" running on the Micros when a constant level of demand is made on them (not the intended usage model[2])
Under load the Micros frequently go into a catatonic state with %st ('top') climbing to the moon as the VM environment provisions the brunt of the server's resources to the other VMs on the machine and starves out any hungry Micro instances (as designed).
I didn't think you could host anything on them with regularity. Maybe a swarm of them behind an ELB, not not a single one... anyone else had the same experience that Malda had?
