Seeking Advice on Citrix DaaS Image Copying Time in AWS

Hi,

150 GB in 45 min is approx a throughput of 555 Mbps.

The throughput you can expect for some type of instance is detailled at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-network-bandwidth.html

aws ec2 describe-instance-types --filters "Name=instance-type,Values=c5.*" --query "InstanceTypes[].[InstanceType, NetworkInfo.NetworkPerformance]" --output table
-------------------------------------
|       DescribeInstanceTypes       |
+--------------+--------------------+
|  c5.4xlarge  |  Up to 10 Gigabit  |
|  c5.xlarge   |  Up to 10 Gigabit  |
|  c5.12xlarge |  12 Gigabit        |
|  c5.24xlarge |  25 Gigabit        |
|  c5.9xlarge  |  10 Gigabit        |
|  c5.2xlarge  |  Up to 10 Gigabit  |
|  c5.large    |  Up to 10 Gigabit  |
|  c5.metal    |  25 Gigabit        |
|  c5.18xlarge |  25 Gigabit        |
+--------------+--------------------+

To go more into details, you should add some details about your exact config (instance types, location, etc.) to your question. Thanks!

About your point on tools, you should probably start with Flow Logs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/flow-logs.html) and then go to traffic mirroring with https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/using-vpc-traffic-mirroring-to-monitor-and-secure-your-aws-infrastructure/ if you don't get what you need with flow logs

Best,
