The CloudShare metrics that are available for managing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) resource quotas reflect information that is made available from Amazon.
For additional information, refer to the Amazon EC2 documentation. You may find the following references helpful: Amazon EC2 Instances, Amazon EC2: Get statistics for a specific instance.
The text below provides basic details for each available EC2 metric that is controllable through CloudShare.
- CPUs - The highest allowable number of central processing units (CPUs) operating at any time. Amazon EC2 uses a virtual CPU (vCPU) concept that represents a thread on a core. CloudShare counts the Default vCPUs for each instance, since this is a metric that is billed. For more information, see Optimizing CPU Options.
- CPU credit units - The maximum allowed usage of CPU credit units. For more information, see CPU Credits and Baseline Utilization.
- Disk GB - The highest number of gigabytes (GB) allowed for disk-based storage at any time.
- GPUs - The highest allowable number of graphics processing units (GPUs) at any time. For general information, see Recommended GPU Instances.
- Instance uptime in seconds - The maximum time (in seconds) that a VM instance will be in operation.
- Load balancer rules - The maximum allowed usage of load balancers by the following:
-
- 'Capacity units' sub-metric: The AWS Load Balancer Capacity Units (LCU*) that are used.
- 'Up time' sub-metric - The time (in seconds) that a load balancer will be in operation. `For more information, see Elastic Load Balancing.
- Memory MB - The highest number of megabytes (MB) allowed for RAM-based storage at any time.
