Customers migrating to the public cloud get overwhelmed with the number of instance types and the categories offered by the providers. As of November 1st, 2015, Amazon EC2 has 39 instance types to choose from 6 different instance families. Though AWS takes pride in rapidly adding features and services to its platform, it hasn’t done much in providing appropriate guidance in choosing the right instance types. Amazon continues to add at least two new instance types every year. Jeff Barr, the chief evangelist and the official blogger at AWS, published a detailed history of EC2 instances.
