t3
Burstable general purpose · Intel (x86)
T3 instances run on Intel Xeon processors and provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst above it using CPU credits. They are cost-effective for workloads with moderate average CPU usage and occasional spikes, such as small databases and dev/test environments.
