Cloud Mercato tested CPU performance using a range of encryption speed tests:
Cloud Mercato's tested the I/O performance of this instance using a 100GB General Purpose SSD. Below are the results:
I/O rate testing is conducted with local and block storages attached to the instance. Cloud Mercato uses the well-known open-source tool FIO. To express IOPS the following parametersare used: 4K block, random access, no filesystem (except for write access with root volume and avoidance of cache and buffer.

T2 is a burstable instance type If you run out of CPU credits, CPU is throttled and performance degrades
This blog post explains AWS EC2 instance types and categories as well as provides come recommendations to help you make the right decision when you need to run an instance in the Amazon cloud.
I think the discrepancies can be attributed to the choice of the t-style instances. They are generally over committed.
Aren\'t \'t\' instances burst instances? They need to be under constant load for a long time before their burst credits for CPU, memory, network and EBS run out, after which they fall back on their baseline performance.

Thank you for this article. We have T instances for EC2 and RDS and we are expecting some very strange performance behavior. Do you have plan to test RDS?
This is super well documented by aws themselves and if you understood how they work before creating the article then you probably would not have written it. Please do research before writing scare articles just for clicks. That’s just lame brother.

T2 instances do not have Unlimited mode turned on by default. Without Unlimited mode turned on, once the CPU credits have been exhausted, the server goes into a shallow resource usage state. Its CPU performance and network performance are lessened considerably until the CPU credits have accumulated again. We've seen this first hand on quite a few occasions now, even causing production outages.

You can count t2 as upgrade of t1. In general t2 offer faster access to memory and disk compared to t1.
Back when I worked at AWS and t1s were still the big thing, we had a policy of telling customers to never run a production site on a t1.micro .
T2 instances are low-cost, General Purpose instance type that provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst above the baseline.
As I myself learned the hard way, T2 are awful for production websites with sustained high traffic.

Why use t2 instances of t2.large or larger? The price difference to go to m5 instances is negligible[1], and with m5 you don't have to worry about CPU credits and you get better networking.
This is false information. Instance retirement event is just host maintenance event. NOT THE replacement process.
So, there is no specific date to end support for older instance type, they are retired gradually and we are only notified through scheduled events?

That's a great news! Thank you for the link
T2 instances will only save you some money on smaller instances. Bigger ones, like `t2.xlarge` has no advantage over let's say memory optimized instances unless you need burstable processing resources for a period of time.

As sktan mentioned, T2, T3a and T3 are burstable, which means you don't get to use 100% of the CPU all the time. If your job is CPU-bound, I doubt a burstable instance will be cost effective.
The difference between t2 and c6g instances is the burstable nature of the t2 instance. A t2.micro is cheap because of the way the credit system works, where you can't always use 100% of your CPU and can only burst there periodically.

If you have an application that needs to run with some basic CPU and memory usage, you can choose t3. It also works well if you have an application that gets used sometimes but not others.
The t3 family is a burstable instance type. If you have an application that needs to run with some basic CPU and memory usage, you can choose t3. It also works well if you have an application that gets used sometimes but not others.
CPU credits only apply to T2/T3 instances.

CPU credits only apply to T2/T3 instances. Each T2/T3 instance accumulates some CPU credits per second and also when it's in use (i.e. not "idle") it spends these CPU credits. When it runs out of credits it either slows down to the baseline performance (T2 default) or keeps running at full speed with you paying for the extra credits needed (T3 default and T2 "unlimited mode").

Depending on the age of the instance, "unlimited CPU" might not have been enabled.
T2 instances are very performant (better processors than m4/5). But the catch is in T2 is that they handle only certain amount of load during 24hrs period. For 24/7 usage M and C are better. But depending on the overall load during a day T2s can be better. For example if you have typical 8 hrs a day usage T2 will probably be good. T2 have daily credit system that allows certain amount of full speed usage during a day then the performance drops (needs to be constant and heavy use for many hours)
This is false information. Instance retirement event is just host maintenance event. NOT THE replacement process.
