EC2 types and use case

  1. General Purpose Instances I use these for web applications since they provide a good balance of compute, memory, and networking. They handle everyday tasks well without being specialized in any one area.
  2. Compute Optimized Instances When I need high performance, these are my choice. Their powerful processors make them perfect for web servers, compute-heavy applications, and gaming servers.
  3. Memory Optimized Instances Trading analysis apps need lots of data loaded before they start running. That's where these instances help - they can preload large amounts of data into memory for quick access.
  4. Accelerated Computing Instances These come with special hardware accelerators. I use them for game streaming and graphics applications that need extra processing power for visual tasks.
  5. Storage Optimized Instances If your application needs fast data access with high input/output operations (IOPS), like in data warehouses and databases, these instances are the way to go.
