Jab aap EC2 launch karte ho, to AWS aapse puchta hai instance type.

Ye decide karta hai:

• vCPU (processor power)
• RAM (memory)
• Network performance
• Storage support (EBS / Instance store)

Example:

• t2.micro → low CPU, low RAM (free tier)
• m5.large → medium CPU + medium RAM

Types -

• General Purpose (T, M) – Balanced CPU, RAM; normal applications

• Compute Optimized (C) – High CPU; heavy processing workloads

• Memory Optimized (R, X) – High RAM; databases & caching

• Storage Optimized (I, D) – Fast disk; big data & file processing

• Accelerated Computing (P, G) – GPU based; AI/ML & graphics

• Memory Optimized → Data RAM me rakhta hai (fast access)

  Database, cache

• Storage Optimized → Data disk me rakhta hai (fast read/write)

  Big files, logs, analytics
