IDefine Instance types refer to the various configurations of virtual servers available in Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud). These instance types are designed with different resource combinations to optimize performance for various applications.
- General Purpose Instances: Suitable for web servers, code repositories, and small-to-medium databases.
- Compute Optimized Instances: Ideal for compute-bound applications like batch processing and media transcoding.
- Memory Optimized Instances: Designed for workloads that process large datasets in memory, such as in-memory databases and data analytics.
- Storage Optimized Instances: Best for high-throughput databases and data processing.
- Accelerated Computing Instances: Utilize hardware accelerators for tasks like floating-point calculations and graphics processing.
