EC2 Spread Placement Strategy

Spread Placement StrategyΒΆ

Pros: - Can span across Availability Zones - Reduced risk of simultaneous failure - EC2 Instances are on different physical hardware

Cons: - Limited to 7 instances per Availability Zone per EC2 Placement Groups

Use case: - Application that needs to maximise High Availability - [[Critical Applications]] where each instance must be isolated from failure from each other
