Hey thanks that is simpler than expected!
Still, apart from the obvious ones (m, c, t) there's also the myriad top-level classes that I'd have no idea about - like what is r, i, d, x, p, g etc. My brain is too puny for all that!
- rdhatt 6y agoThese are my mnemonics, pretty sure I'm not too far off though: r = RAM. Instances are biased toward having more memory. i = I/O. ... have fast SSDs. d = DISK. ... lots of disk space. x = XL. ... lots of RAM g = GPU. ... have GPU hardware ...and of course now I realize this is already answered on SO. I'm keeping mine though. https://stackoverflow.com/a/56880093 https://stackoverflow.com/a/56880093
- gazby 6y agoThis is definitely helpful, though I think the SO question showcases fairly well why someone would want the summary on the web page: Several are ambiguous and if you're not regularly exploring new instance types you're going to forget this or fall behind in your awareness of new types.
