Mention the different types of instances in Amazon EC2 and explain its features.

bookmark

  1. General Purpose Instances: They are used to compute a range of workloads and aid in the allocation of processing, memory, and networking resources.
  2. Compute Optimized Instances: These are ideal for compute-intensive applications. They can handle  batch processing workloads, high-performance web servers, machine learning inference, and various other tasks.
  3. Memory Optimized: They process workloads that handle massive datasets in memory and deliver them quickly.
  4. Accelerated Computing: It aids in the execution of floating-point number calculations, data pattern matching, and graphics processing. These functions are carried out using hardware accelerators.
  5. Storage Optimised: They handle tasks that require sequential read and write access to big data sets on local storage.
