I assumed these were cache servers that went into ISPs, does anyone know what they mean by "Increases AWS cloud management overhead" on a couple of the slides?
Guessing that they have managed services in aws for maintaining all the nodes and where they are. If each box has 2x the ips, they would need more mgmt resources to keep track of what is on that box, if it's online, stats, etc.
Yes, exactly. When we first started the project, I was told that multiple IPs were not an option for that reason.
Was that a technical or administrative restriction? I'm interested in how an organization makes a decision like that, and then what channels are used to reverse it.
