Vertica Supported EC2 Instance Types
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2018 5:40 pm
It looks like, starting with version 8, Vertica began to specify a limited set of supported EC2 instance types. I ran Vertica 7 on an instance type (x1.32xlarge) that wasn't included in this specification: As far as I know, there wasn't guidance on instance type for that release.
I'm curious to know if anybody knows anything about why the supported instance types are restricted, and if the restriction is enforced by install/upgrade scripts, or if people have experience running non-supported types since version 8?
Context: I'm thinking that the i3 class, with NVMe instance stores, might work well with EON mode.
