Announcing Amazon EC2 T2 Unlimited for Sustained High CPU Performance
Amazon EC2 T2 instances can now deliver high CPU performance for as long as a workload needs it. T2 instances have previously enabled customers to optimize costs for their workloads with a generous baseline CPU performance and the ability to burst above baseline for short periods. With T2 Unlimited, workloads can now burst beyond the baseline for as long as required. This enables customers to enjoy the low T2 instance hourly price for a wide variety of general purpose applications, and ensure that their instances are never constrained to the baseline. Common general-purpose workloads on T2 instances include micro-services, low-latency interactive applications, small and medium databases, virtual desktops, development, build and stage environments, code repositories, and product prototypes.
