I redirect my web traffic to this instance and it uses around 40-50% CPU and outgoing bandwidth is around 5Mbps The instance runs fine for a few hours (varies from 2 to 4 hours in tests) before the CPU suddenly climbs to 100% and the instance becomes unresponsive. Rebooting it via the Amazon Management Console fixes everything for another few hours. The output of uname -a is... Linux ip-10-235-21-236 2.6.24-10-xen #1 SMP Tue Sep 8 19:06:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux Attached is the output of ec2-get-console-output of the locked instance just after it was rebooted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/745108/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
