ZONE_COUNT = (REQUIRED_INSTANCES \/ INSTANCE_COUNT_PER_ZONE) + 1. To minimize cost, spread the instances across as many possible zones as you can. By using a though e, you are allocating 5 zones. Using 2 instances, you have 10 total instances. If a single zone fails, you have 4 zones left, with 2 instances each, for a total of 8 instances. By spreading out as much as possible, you have increased cost by only 25% and significantly de-risked an availability zone failure.<br \/>\nReference: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.aws.amazon.com\/AWSEC2\/latest\/UserGuide\/concepts.html\" title=\"External link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/docs.aws.amazon.com\/AWSEC2\/latest\/UserGuide\/concepts.html<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are designing a system which needs, at minumum, 8 m4.large instances operating to service traffic.
