EUCSUS02-BP01 Select the instance type or bundle to match software requirement and user personas

Consider the performance needs, cost implications, and any specific workload characteristics (for example, GPU requirements). Benchmark and test different instance types to find the best fit for your workload. Regularly review and adjust your instance type selection as your application's demands change over time.

Implementation guidance

WorkSpaces Applications offers eight instance families and a set of instance types per family. Explore these instance families and types to identify the appropriate requirement for each use case. For graphics workloads, use Graphics G4dn and Graphics G5. Once you have defined the instance family, you can benchmark at least two instances type to identify the best choice.

Amazon WorkSpaces offers nine bundles, from value to GraphicsPro.g4dn. Once you have selected applications and usage for each use case, identify the requirement in term of CPU, memory, and GPU for each of them.
