[AusNOG] NOC Phone System - AWS?

Tue Jul 22 21:56:24 EST 2014

We are just having this kind of chat internally at the moment.

Moving some workloads to the cloud for testing. Currently only using VPN tunnel for testing with AWS, would need to bump that up to direct connect if we want to push more.

Given that we are Cisco UC and have just migrated our cluster to specs based IBM blades, we are trying to figure out the best option to move UC to cloud if the need ever eventuated.

Interesting seeing other’s considering similar.

Thing is.. AWS is as shared as you want it to be... you just have to choose the right instance for what you are doing.

I'd be interested to hear how this works out for you.
I'd mainly be concerned about the jitter you might see on a shared service like that.

Hey Nathan (and others),

I guess something that maybe people don't understand (by the half dozen emails I got off-list) is what Direct Connect is.

The ISP I am building at the moment will have its servers entirely hosted in AWS... web, dns, dhcp, radius, monitoring, mail, tr69, etc etc... but, it will NOT be using internet via AWS.  The servers will internally have real live public APNIC IP addresses, with a Direct Connect established to our network core.  Think of it as a blue cable into our own EC2 instance for compute power.

So, connectivity will come via the physical network core with normal transit providers, peering, etc... with connectivity to AWS via a gig link... essentially Private Cloud I think the more appropriate definition in this case.

Once this is up and running, I will be spinning up some instances of Brocade, Cisco (CSR 1000v) and other people AWS Instances to see how well they perform over the Direct Connect.

The only issue I see at the moment is the charges getting data out of the VPC instance...

Hi Mate,

I guess depending on the amount of calls etc, they will still need to traverse calls via a Public Instance to reach the third party provider who is going to do the call termination possibly.

Just a consideration.

Also as long as there is not much transcoding occurring the majority of the load would be caused by people listening to MOH and even then CPU isn't a major factor.

Hey guys,

I am setting up a VoIP system for a NOC for a customer, and I am wondering if anyone here has setup a VoIP (Freeswitch) on an AWS instance?

We will be doing this via a direct connect, not their Internet side.

I am wondering is someone has done it on AWS, and what size instance and utilisation they've used.

I am guessing a normal T2 Micro instance will be fine... just wanted to see if there was any collective wisdom out there about this - and if there was any thoughts on doing it over direct connect - apart from the data charges.
