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.

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.

General purpose workloads with moderate CPU, memory, and network utilization.Save 10% over T3 instance prices

Amazon T3a instances share similar features with T3 instances, except that they run on AMD EPYC 7000 series processors, clocked at 2.5 GHz (all core Turbo).

AWS re:Invent 2020: Reduce cost with Amazon EC2’s next-generation T4g and T3 instance types

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?

But how does this explain that t3a.large and m5a.large show different cpu usage during baseline (not burst)? It is the same hardware and we run the same applications.

We have recently switched our instances, we used to run m5a.large instances, now t3a.large. What concerns us now is that the t3a.large instances shower a higher CPU usage comparing to m5a.large.

t3a instances run on AMD EPYC CPUs, depending on your workload (threads, spikes, etc.), you will probably have similar performance if the right pieces match.

t3a instances run on AMD EPYC CPUs, depending on your workload (threads, spikes, etc.), you will probably have similar performance if the right pieces match. In general, it seems that the t3 instances running Intel CPUs are usually faster. You can also get a 10% discount on your EC2 computing bill:

You can even use AWS T3 instances to roll your own AWS services that have unnecessarily large default capacities. For instance, NAT Gateways and Redis nodes support bursts of up to 10 Gbps by default. You could spin up a free T3 Micro with a NAT AMI to eliminate or mitigate these costs if you don’t need that much.

T3a instances have AMD EPYC 7000 series processors with an all-core turbo CPU clock speed of up to 2.5 GHz. T3a instances offer an additional 10% cost savings over T3 instances.

We cannot possibly know how these will perform for your workload. Rent both and test. Optimize according to your requirements: cost, performance, whatever.

For T3 and T3a instance types Unlimited mode is turned on by default. This is excellent, as we remove the risk of a production outage, but gain the risk of increased costs.

t3a.xlarge instance: with 4 vCPUs, I had much more CPU capacity and did not hit 100% CPU. I was using about 30 CPU credits per hour above the baseline, so I ended up with...

We have recently switched our instances, we used to run m5a.large instances, now t3a.large. What concerns us now is that the t3a.large instances shower a higher CPU usage comparing to m5a.large.

If your t3.large instances average over 45.8% CPU utilisations, then you should switch your T3 to the equivalent M5 to save money.

You can count t2 as upgrade of t1. In general t2 offer faster access to memory and disk compared to t1.

Over the past few days, I’ve been analyzing the AWS EC2 nodes currently running across multiple Kubernetes clusters in different regions, with various instance types. Here are the memory capacity differences I’ve found:
