instanceFamily

The instance family to use as a baseline reference.

Ensure that you specify the correct value for the instance family. The instance family is everything before the period ( . ) in the instance type name. For example, in the instance type c6i.large , the instance family is c6i , not c6 . For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance type naming conventions in Amazon EC2 Instance Types . The following instance families are not supported for performance protection:

• c1

• g3 | g3s

• hpc7g

• m1 | m2

• mac1 | mac2 | mac2-m1ultra | mac2-m2 | mac2-m2pro

• p3dn | p4d | p5

• t1

• u-12tb1 | u-18tb1 | u-24tb1 | u-3tb1 | u-6tb1 | u-9tb1 | u7i-12tb | u7in-16tb | u7in-24tb | u7in-32tb If you enable performance protection by specifying a supported instance family, the returned instance types will exclude the above unsupported instance families. If you specify an unsupported instance family as a value for baseline performance, the API returns an empty response response for GetInstanceTypesFromInstanceRequirements and an exception for CreateFleet , RequestSpotFleet , ModifyFleet , and ModifySpotFleetRequest .
