About AWS EC2 Instance Families vs. Instance Types vs.Instance Size
The AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service providesscalable computing capacity to launch virtual machines (AWSEC2 instances). AWS categorizes EC2 as Instance families—GeneralPurpose, Compute Optimized, Memory Optimized, Accelerate Networking,and Storage Optimized—to fit different use cases and applicationprofiles. Each instance family consists of multiple instance types.These instance types offer different compute, memory, and storagecapabilities. Each instance type is also available in differentinstance sizes—nano, micro, small, medium, large, xlarge, 2xlarge,4xlarge, 8xlarge, 10xlarge, 16xlarge, and 32xlarge— to address workloadrequirements.

*When you launch the VM-Series firewall corresponding to thisAWS Marketplace listing, it automatically learns the compute resourcesfor the AWS EC2 instance and applies the appropriate VM-Series model(VM-100, VM-300, VM-500, or VM-700).
**You can launch the VM-Series firewall model corresponding tothis AWS Marketplace listing on an AWS instance size that providesmore resources than the minimum requirements. However, the firewalldoes not take advantage of the additional memory or CPU cores. Ifyou launch the firewall model on an instance size that does notmeet the minimum requirements, the firewall will boot in maintenancemode.
