Hello,

First Understanding Your Workload

Before diving into the instance types, it's crucial to understand your specific workload characteristics:

  • Memory-intensive: Does your workload require large amounts of memory for in-memory data structures or caching?
  • CPU-intensive: Does your workload heavily rely on CPU processing power for complex calculations or queries?
  • I/O-bound: Does your workload involve frequent reads and writes to storage?
  • Network-intensive: Does your workload require high network throughput for data transfer?
  • Price Sensitivity: Do you have strict cost constraints?
