Q: What kind of hardware will my application stack run on?

Your application will execute on a virtual computer that we call an instance. You have the choice of several instance types, allowing you to select a configuration of memory, CPU, and instance storage that is optimal for your application:

Small Instance:

1.7 GB of memory, 1 EC2 Compute Unit (1 virtual cores with 1 EC2 Compute Unit), 160 GB of instance storage, 32-bit platform $0.10 per instance-hour consumed or partial hour consumed

Large Instance:

7.5 GB of memory, 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 850 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform $0.40 per instance-hour consumed or partial hour consumed

Extra Large Instance:

15 GB of memory, 8 EC2 Compute Units (4 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each), 1690 GB of instance storage, 64-bit platform $0.80 per instance-hour consumed or partial hour consumed

See Amazon EC2 Instance Types for details on available configurations. You have full and exclusive access to an instance once you have commissioned it.
