EC2 Instance Types

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > EC2 Instance Types

EC2 Instance Types in AWS define the virtual server configurations you can run in the cloud. They specify combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity to suit different workloads. Instance families are optimized for general purpose, compute, memory, storage, or accelerated computing needs. This allows you to choose the right balance of performance and cost for applications such as web hosting, databases, analytics, or machine learning.
