[13:05] <elmoro> hello , how long does it take to launch a m1.large instance? it seems to be that it take much more time than a small on.
[13:12] <elmoro> ok 3 minutes
[14:12] <steveb> elmoro: i guess it depends on the AMI?
[14:28] <elmoro> 64 bit image
[19:01] <erichammond> The biggest factors I'm aware of which influence Linux EC2 instance startup are (1) the size of the image and (2) the frequency with which the image is run on EC2 (as the image may be cached closer than S3).
[19:02] <erichammond> Actually, those just affect the "pending" state.  There seems to be a fair amount of variability in the actual boot phase until sshd is accepting connections, too.
