instance Family
Parameters
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.
