Does Amazon EC2 and RDS have ECC memory?

  • 772

I know that Amazon's Cluster GPU Instances have ECC memory as mentioned on their blog but there's no mention of other instance types. There's a forum post from back in 2007 that went unanswered. Does anyone know if they're running ECC?

    Just noticed this thread via Hacker News. In our experience, ECC memory is a requirement for server infrastructure, and all Amazon EC2 servers use ECC. We will be updating our detail pages with that information soon.
