Get recommendations for an instance type

The following tools can help you select the optimal instance types for your new or existing workloads:

  • New workloads – The EC2 instance type finder considers your use case, workload type, CPU manufacturer preference, and how you prioritize price and performance, as well as additional parameters that you can specify. It then uses this data to provide suggestions and guidance for Amazon EC2 instance types that are best suited to your new workloads.

  • Existing workloads – Amazon Compute Optimizer analyzes your existing instance specifications and utilization metrics. It then uses the compiled data to recommend which Amazon EC2 instance types are optimized for cost or performance, or both, for your existing workloads.
