Benchmark Test Results for
t4g.2xlarge
CPU Encryption Speed Benchmarks

Cloud Mercato tested CPU performance using a range of encryption speed tests:

Encryption Algorithm Speed (1024 Block Size, 3 threads)
AES-128 CBC 610.2MB
AES-256 CBC 455.4MB
MD5 1.1GB
SHA256 4.2GB
SHA512 1.1GB
I/O Performance

Cloud Mercato's tested the I/O performance of this instance using a 100GB General Purpose SSD. Below are the results:

Read Write
Max 3101 3099
Average 3096 3094
Deviation 4.46 4.49
Min 3081 3080

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.

It\'s the same for t4g.

Additionally, t4g is an ARM-based processor, and it may not support some of the programs or scripts that you already have.

Thank you ! Do you know if it\'s optimized for ECS ?

I think the key thing to understand here is that with little to no traffic, it absolutely will not make a difference and thus you should go with the cheapest (in this case t4g) option available.

Solution was pretty simple: you have to choose ARM architecture on the first step, AMI selection.

2020-05-11 00:00:00

Ok. I\'ll check.

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.

So that would mean Unlimited is not a setting available for T4g (ARM instance) and therefore _may_ explain inconsistent behavior in the ARM instance.

The next-generation T4g instances, powered by AWS Graviton2, enable up to 40% higher performance than T3 for times when you need performance as well as 20% lower cost.

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.
