Hi Patel,

The customer consider that deploy DPDK application in Amazon VMs is very flexible and very easy global site deployment:  

such as: they only need to buy a 2 lcores VM if a site only need 200Mbps throughput;   buy one 4 lcores VM if the throughput is 400Mbps;

the can buy different Amazon site VMs in US, German... for lower access latency;

It really depends on the devices offered in the VM. If direct device assignment is not provided to a VM or if the node hypervisor doesn't have an optimized para-virtual interface to a VM, I don't see any benefit using DPDK in VMs.

A customer plan to buy some global Amazon VMs to run their DPDK 1.3(will upgrade to DPDK1.6 or 1.7) based VPN applications on global sites.

Thanks a lot;
