55
What are EC2 instance types
General, Compute Optimized, Memory Optimized, Storage Optimized, Accelerated Computing
56
EC2 instance type - General
Balance of everything
57
EC2 instance type - Compute Optimized
High CPU (batch processing workloads, media transcoding, high performance web servers, high performance computing (HPC), scientific modeling, dedicated gaming servers and ad server engines, machine learning inference and other compute intensive applications.)
58
EC2 instance type - Memory Optimized
High RAM (open-source databases, in-memory caches, and real-time big data analytics)
59
EC2 instance type - Storage Optimized
High SSD. Deliver tens of thousands of low-latency, random I/O operations per second (IOPS). (transactional databases (Amazon DynamoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL), Amazon OpenSearch Service, and real-time analytics such as Apache Spark)
60
EC2 instance type - Accelerated Computing
hardware accelerators, or co-processors, to perform functions, such as floating point number calculations, graphics processing, or data pattern matching, more efficiently than is possible in software running on CPUs.
61
EC2 pricing plans
On-Demand, Reserved, Spot, Dedicated Hosts, (EC2 savings plan)
62
EC2 pricing - On-Demand
pay for compute capacity by the hour or second with no long-term commitments (short-term workloads that cannot be interrupted, ppl who are scared of commitment, dating AWS before marriage)
63
EC2 pricing - Spot
Up to 90% off On-Demand pricing, like flying standby, take advantage of unused compute in AWS. Must have stateless flexible workloads that can be stopped & resumed (e.g. batch jobs)
64
EC2 Reserved - 3 kinds
Standard, Convertible, Scheduled
65
AWS Savings Plans - 2 types
Compute Savings Plan, EC2 Instance Savings Plans
66
Compute Savings Plan
flexible pricing for Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate usage if you commit to amount of usage ($/hour) for a 1 or 3 yr term. Up to 66% cost reduction
67
AWS Savings Plans
flexible pricing for Amazon EC2, AWS Lambda, and AWS Fargate if you commit to consistent amount of usage ($/hour) for a 1 or 3 yr term. Instance family, size, AZ, Region, OS or tenancy don't matter
68
EC2 Instance Savings Plan
up to 72% savings if commit individual instance families + region, 1 or 3 yrs
69
EC2 Reserved - Scheduled
If you need it on a periodic schedule
70
EC2 Reserved - Standard
up to 72% cost savings, 1 or 3 yrs, commit to instance family + region. Can get capacity reservations if commit to AZ
71
EC2 Reserved - Convertible
Up to 66% savings, 1 or 3 yrs, commit to region (instance families, operating systems, tenancies can change)
72
