How to avoid CPU spikes during Symantec scans

nl flag

Recently, we moved our servers and infrastructures to AWS. We observed that the load on our servers are very low. But just during the Symantec scans, the CPU load spikes to 50% or more. If it was not for the spikes during the Symantec scans, we could have gone for a lower configuration on EC2 instances.

Is this a known issue? Or is there way to control the CPU utilization during the Symantec scan?

It could be the storage subsystem, and the processor utilization a symptom. AWS throttles their infrastructure, so you're probably hitting the poor I/O performance. It doesn't help that there isn't any information on the type and size of the instance or the operating system.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
