I am migrating part of a mysql database into AWS. The data in question is 99% write, and each row has about 1k of varchar fields, a datetime and 4 ints.
I estimate that we will need between 20-25k records inserted/hour during peak times.
I ran iostat -h on the current database, and it reported around 40 tps.
How do I figure out what type of IOPS I'll need?
