Hmmmm, you know, I've spent some time in the last couple of days running performance tests on raid arrays against mdm, and I don't find any huge differences :-O between using a raid0 array against 10 disks, and just using a plain old eds disk.
I feel that given the significant difference in risk and maintenance of using a raid, just using a plain eds volume is probably fine, unless you need the extra storage space.
If it gets slow, I feel just add more memory to the ec2 instance itself I feel, and let stuff run from instance cache.
So, updated summary: whatever you're doing already is probably fine, as long as it's simple and reasonably standard. If I am given the project I can confirm that.
I won't bid though without some clarification on project boundaries and definition.over 2 years ago

I'm sure your installation is just fine. It's not terribly hard to migrate to a larger machine in Amazon EC2. As far as storage, even a single EBS is good for 1000GB of storage on its own, though the perf won't be brilliant. After that it's a question of finding out what your requirements for performance and so on really are. How acceptable is downtime to migrate to a new disk architecture in the future? Or would you prefer to have the disk architecture in place right now? How large do you anticipate the database will become? How much I/O are you anticipating to the database files themselves? And so on...
To be honest the question is quite open-ended. Do you just want brief confirmation that your EC2 architecture is fine? Or more detailed analysis of your actual sql queries? I think there is a very real danger of an ambiguous project definition actually.
So... basic confirmation that your expected disk I/O is compatible with your current disk configuration, and a couple of very simple checks like that: 50-100 dollars.
More detailed analysis of the actual queries you will be running, the tables you will be using and so on: +++over 2 years ago
