Overview of AWS instance types and use cases:

Here's an overview of AWS instance types and use cases:

AWS Instance Types:

1. General Purpose (T2, T3, C5, C6): Balanced compute, memory, and storage.

2. Compute Optimized (C4, C5, P2, P3): High-performance computing, gaming, scientific simulations.

3. Memory Optimized (R4, R5, X1): High-memory applications, databases, data analytics.

4. Storage Optimized (I3, I3en): High-storage applications, data warehousing, big data.

5. Accelerated Computing (P2, P3, F1): GPU-accelerated computing, AI, machine learning.

Use Cases:

1. Web Servers (T2, T3, C5)

2. Database Servers (R4, R5, X1)

3. Big Data Analytics (I3, I3en)

4. Machine Learning (P2, P3, F1)

5. Gaming (C4, C5, P2, P3)

6. Scientific Simulations (C4, C5, P2, P3)

7. High-Performance Computing (C4, C5, P2, P3)

Instance Size Comparison:

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| T2.micro | 1 | 1 GB | EBS-only |

| C5.xlarge | 4 | 8 GB | EBS-only |

| R4.2xlarge | 8 | 61 GB | 1 x 160 GB SSD |

| I3.2xlarge | 8 | 61 GB | 1 x 1.9 TB HDD |

Pricing:

- On-Demand: Pay-as-you-go pricing.

- Reserved Instances: Discounted pricing for committed usage.

- Spot Instances: Bid-based pricing for unused capacity.

Best Practices:

1. Choose the right instance type for your workload.

2. Monitor performance and adjust instance size as needed.

3. Use Auto Scaling for dynamic resource allocation.

4. Optimize storage and network configuration.
