EC2 Consulting: Asterisk PBX and Amazon EC2
For a few months now, I’ve evaluated, tested and deployed various images (virtual servers) and applications on Amazon’s robust EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) platform. I not only host various websites on the service, but also databases, files and even Digium’s Asterisk PBX!
Two months ago, I installed the Asterisk PBX (I like to compile the code, rather than using packages) to one of my EC2 servers for testing. Everything worked flawlessly, except an annoying SIP over NAT issue which prevented the passing of audio between clients and the server. Now that I’ve corrected it, I recently transitioned my Asterisk configuration away form home to Amazon EC2.
The result? Success! I couldn’t be happier with the performance of my PBX on Amazon EC2 when compared to my Dell PowerEdge 2400 server at home. Now, I can add even more phone lines and features thanks to the increase in processing power and bandwidth.
This is telephony on steroids!
