T4G General Purpose
Balanced compute, memory, and networking for a wide range of workloads.
Name:
tBurstable General Purposet = Burstable General PurposeCost-effective instances providing baseline CPU performance with the ability to burst above baseline when workload surges.44th Generation4 = 4th GenerationAWS 4th generation hardware platform with updated CPU/system architecture.gAWS Gravitong = AWS GravitonAWS Graviton2 Processor (arm64). Powered by custom 64-bit ARM AWS Graviton processors, delivering industry-leading price-performance and power efficiency.Alternatives to t4g
