Compute Optimized Instances

Compute Optimized Instances are ideal when there is a high demand for compute power.

They are also well-suited for application servers, gaming servers, and web applications.

The primary distinction is that this type excels in high-performance and compute-intensive requirements.

Memory Optimized Instances

This instance type can efficiently handle large dataset workloads.

Memory serves as a temporary storage area that loads data from storage, retains it, and processes it before the computer executes it.

This processing enables a preloading mechanism, granting the CPU direct access to the application.

Memory Optimized Instances are ideal when substantial amounts of data need to be preloaded before launching the application.

Accelerated Computing Instances

This instance type utilizes hardware accelerators to enhance data processing.

Accelerated Computing Instances are particularly well-suited for graphics applications and streaming.

Storage Optimized Instances

This instance type is ideal for handling large datasets stored locally.

Some examples include:

  • Large file systems
  • Data warehouses
  • Online transaction systems

Storage Optimized Instances are specifically designed to provide rapid input/output capabilities.
