How much does it cost to run JIRA and Confluence in Amazon EC2.

Hi, I'm mike_neck.

I'm thinking about installing and running JIRA and Confluence in Amazon EC2.

But I have one question about cost.

Could anyone share cost example for running JIRA and Confluence on Amazon EC2.

I'm thinking to run in the condition as bellow.

• The number of user will be up to 10.
• Access JIRA and Confluence about 16 hours a day.

Hi Mike,

I cannot speak from personal experience, but looking at server specs I would suggest that you would be looking at either 2 x Small instances or 1 x Medium instance - http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/ - as running both Confluence and JIRA on a single Small instance is likely to mean that they will both run very slowly.

Using the calculator at http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html the prices for 2 x Small or 1 x Medium come out the same so you would be looking at:

On Demand Instances:

• Approx $78 per month
• Total $936 for 12 months

Reserved Instances:

• $320 up front cost for 1 year term
• Approx $24 per month
• Total $608 for 12 months

So Reserved Instances (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/reserved-instances/) would be a lot cheaper than On Demand Instances.

On top of that you just need the $20 ($10 each) for 10 user licenses for Confluence and JIRA.

Hope that helps?

Andrew.
