EC2 m5n.2xlarge limited bandwidth?

Question

When a user is uploading a file to my **m5n.2xlarge**, the server become quite slow (network). The user is uploading at 100Mbps, I am not sure why the server is not able to handle this bandwidth. From the specs:

* Network: Up to 25 Gbps
* EBS: Up to 4,750 Mbsp

I am limited because of EBS, or credit balance (I don't understand this notion of credit balance)? Should I use another instance?
Thank you in advance!

Answer

Did you validate the ENA drive is enabled on the instance? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/enhanced-networking-ena.html

You can also leverage CloudWatch metrics to see the NetworkIn to the instance to see how much throughput is being used. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/monitoring-network-performance-ena.html

Answer

Network performance from a client to a server depends on a lot of things including the network in between. Could it be an issue on the server? Sure. But I would first look at the path between the client and server. Run tests on different clients connected to different networks and isolate where the performance issue is coming from.
