Choice instance type

Hi Henk Kwant,

If you are facing issues with the t2.medium instance type, then you should try to use the "m" series.

To extensively compare and choose a specific Instance Type to suit your needs, please visit the site: https://calculator.aws/

Here, you can enter all the requirements (Workload, OS Type, vCPU, Memory, Tenancy, Payment Options, etc. and get a pricing quote too.

This is a go-to source for selecting EC2 Instances and getting a rough cost estimate too. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Atul

Hello.

As far as I looked at the hardware conditions, it seemed like there would be no problem with t2.medium or t3.medium if I tried hard.
However, if it is for a production environment and there are many people using it, I think M6i or M7i, which can provide a certain level of performance, is better.
For instance types in the T family, performance will drop to the baseline throughput when the burst credits are used up.
Therefore, if there are many users, performance may drop suddenly if the limit is exceeded.

M6i and M7i cost more than T2 and T3, but I think you can expect better performance.
