Recommended Instance Types

SIOS maintains AMIs for the following instances. Not all instance types are available in all regions. If one of the bellow types are not available it is probably due to the base instance type not being available in the region currently selected.

The following were chosen as they all support EBS-optimization enabled by default, true instance storage, and at least medium network performance. SIOS DataKeeper is supported on most other instance types, but will need to be manually installed and configured. If a desired size is not included below please refer to Best Practices to ensure proper configuration.
