- 12. Leverage on using latest instance generations Better Costs to Performance Ratio Simple computation for M3.xlarge to M5.xlarge Name API Name Memory vCPU Linux On Demand Cost Windows On Demand cost M1 General Purpose Extra Large m1.xlarge 15.0 GiB 4 vCPUs $0.350000 hourly $0.598000 hourly M3 General Purpose Extra Large m3.xlarge 15.0 GiB 4 vCPUs $0.266000 hourly $0.518000 hourly M4 General Purpose Extra Large m4.xlarge 16.0 GiB 4 vCPUs $0.200000 hourly $0.384000 hourly M5 General Purpose Extra Large m5.xlarge 16.0 GiB 4 vCPUs $0.192000 hourly $0.376000 hourly
- 13. Leverage on using latest instance generations Better Costs to Performance Ratio Things to consider: • Upgrading AWS drivers for the operating systems • EC2 classic vs VPC based environment
- 14. AWS Free Tier Services What is AWS Free tier Service? The free tier is designed to give you hands-on experience with a range of AWS services at no charge.
- 15. AWS Free Tier Services How to Maximize Free tier Capabilities? Charging is based on a per hour: Option 1: 750 hours = 1 instance running for 750 hours a month (24x7) Option 2: 750 hours = 10 instances running 75 hours Use AMI that is eligible for free tier. Do not use Images from Market Place which incur licenses. Use the proper EC2 instance type: t2.nano is not free!
