E – Memory OptimizedeveryMemory optimized VM sizes offer
a high memory-to-CPU ratio that
are great for relational database
servers, medium to large caches,
and in-memory analytics.
F – CPU OptimizedfollowingHigh compute to memory ratio.
FS offer premium storage
G – Godzillageneration Very large instances
