AWS::EC2::SpotFleet PerformanceFactorReferenceRequest

Focus mode
AWS::EC2::SpotFleet PerformanceFactorReferenceRequest - AWS CloudFormation
Filter View

Specify an instance family to use as the baseline reference for CPU performance. All instance types that match your specified attributes will be compared against the CPU performance of the referenced instance family, regardless of CPU manufacturer or architecture.

Note

Currently, only one instance family can be specified in the list.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{ "InstanceFamily" : String }

YAML

InstanceFamily: String

Properties

InstanceFamily

The instance family to use as a baseline reference.

Note

Ensure that you specify the correct value for the instance family. The instance family is everything before the period (.) in the instance type name. For example, in the instance type c6i.large, the instance family is c6i, not c6. For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance type naming conventions in Amazon EC2 Instance Types.

The following instance families are not supported for performance protection:

  • c1

  • g3 | g3s

  • hpc7g

  • m1 | m2

  • mac1 | mac2 | mac2-m1ultra | mac2-m2 | mac2-m2pro

  • p3dn | p4d | p5

  • t1

  • u-12tb1 | u-18tb1 | u-24tb1 | u-3tb1 | u-6tb1 | u-9tb1 | u7i-12tb | u7in-16tb | u7in-24tb | u7in-32tb

If you enable performance protection by specifying a supported instance family, the returned instance types will exclude the above unsupported instance families.

If you specify an unsupported instance family as a value for baseline performance, the API returns an empty response for GetInstanceTypesFromInstanceRequirements and an exception for CreateFleet, RequestSpotFleet, ModifyFleet, and ModifySpotFleetRequest.

Required: No
