Episode 56: EC2 Instance Families (General, Compute, Memory, Storage Optimized)
30 Aug 2025
In this episode, we explore the various EC2 instance families that AWS offers to meet the needs of different workloads. EC2 instance families are grouped based on specific use cases such as compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and general-purpose instances. We’ll start by covering general-purpose instances, which are designed for a variety of workloads, providing a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources. Then, we’ll delve into compute-optimized instances, which are ideal for workloads that require a high level of CPU performance, such as batch processing and high-performance computing (HPC).We’ll also discuss memory-optimized instances, designed for memory-intensive applications like large databases and real-time analytics, and storage-optimized instances, which are perfect for workloads that require high throughput and low latency storage, such as big data processing and data warehousing. By understanding these different instance families and their capabilities, you’ll be able to select the right instance for your application’s specific performance requirements. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the knowledge to choose the most cost-effective and performance-optimized EC2 instance for any workload.
