Entry level

Entry Level flavor sizes are ideal for applications that don’t require a lot of resources. Entry Level flavor sizes are more cost-effective for running small, non-resource intensive applications than our Balanced, Memory Optimized and CPU Optimized flavor types.

The t2.micro, t2.tiny, and t2.small flavor sizes have bursting capabilities that allow instances to use additional physical CPU for short periods of time. Bursting happens automatically when your instance requires more physical CPU than originally allocated. During these spikes, your instance will take advantage of available physical CPU in bursts. Bursts are not permanent and are only possible periodically.

The Ephemeral storage of this flavor type gives you per GB of storage 10 GB read IOPS and 5 GB write IOPS. At 100GB of Ephemeral storage that means up to a maximum of 1000 GB read IOPS and 500 GB write IOPS with NVME latencies. IOPS maximum is subjected to the load, specifications, and the type of workload of the chosen flavor.

Standard

Balanced

The Balanced flavor type has a healthy amount of memory tuned to host and scale applications like blogs, web applications, testing/staging environments, in-memory caching and databases.

The Ephemeral storage of this Balanced flavor type gives you per GB of storage 50 GB read IOPS and 25 GB write IOPS. At 100GB of Ephemeral storage that means up to a maximum of 5000 GB read IOPS and 2500 GB write IOPS with NVME latencies. IOPS maximum is subjected to the load, specifications, and the type of workload of the chosen flavor.

Memory Optimized

Memory optimized flavor types have 15 GB of system memory per vCPU. They are ideal for tasks that require intensive use of memory and are perfectly suited for:

• High-performance, relational (MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra) databases.
• Distributed web-scale cache stores that provide in-memory caching of key-value type data (Memcached and Redis).
• In-memory databases using optimized data storage formats and analytics for business intelligence (for example, SAP HANA).
• Applications performing real-time processing of big unstructured data (financial services, Hadoop/Spark clusters).
• High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) applications.

The Ephemeral storage of this Memory optimized flavor type gives you per GB of storage 50 GB read IOPS and 25 GB write IOPS. At 100GB of Ephemeral storage that means up to a maximum of 5000 GB read IOPS and 2500 GB write IOPS with NVME latencies. IOPS maximum is subjected to the load, specifications, and the type of workload of the chosen flavor.

CPU Optimized

CPU optimized flavor types have 1.11 vCPUs per 1 GB of system memory. They are perfectly suited for:

• CI/CD servers
• Batch-processing workloads
• Media transcoding
• High-performance web servers
• High-Performance Computing (HPC)
• Scientific modeling
• Dedicated gaming servers and ad serving engines
• Machine learning inference and other compute-intensive applications

The Ephemeral storage of this CPU optimized flavor type gives you per GB of storage 200 GB read IOPS and 50 GB write IOPS. At 100GB of Ephemeral storage that means up to a maximum of 20000 GB read IOPS and 5000 GB write IOPS with NVME latencies. IOPS maximum is subjected to the load, specifications, and the type of workload of the chosen flavor.
