You plan to use an instance in a Cluster Placement group to achieve a low latency network performance along with NVMe EBS.
Which of the following latest General-Purpose Instance would you choose?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.Correct Answer - B.
Options A, C and D are incorrect as they are not General Purpose instance types.
Mac is the Apple Mac system and is suitable for applications that require the Xcode IDE.R5 is for memory optimized instances.
C5 is for compute optimized instances.

Cluster placement group is a logical grouping of instances within a single Availability Zone in which instances are placed in such a way that they can communicate with each other with low latency and high throughput.
NVMe EBS (Elastic Block Store) is a type of storage volume that provides low-latency access to data and high throughput for read and write operations.
Out of the given options, the latest general-purpose instances are M5, R5, and C5.
Mac instances are not general-purpose instances but are designed specifically for macOS-based workloads. Therefore, Option A is not a valid option.
M5 instances are the latest generation of Amazon EC2 General Purpose Instances and provide a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources. They offer high network performance with low-latency EBS storage volumes. Therefore, Option B is a valid option.
R5 instances are optimized for memory-intensive workloads and provide high network performance with low-latency EBS storage volumes. However, they may not be the best fit for general-purpose workloads. Therefore, Option C is not the best choice.
C5 instances are compute-optimized and provide high network performance with low-latency EBS storage volumes. However, they may not be the best fit for general-purpose workloads. Therefore, Option D is not the best choice.
Therefore, the best option for achieving low latency network performance along with NVMe EBS for a general-purpose workload is M5 instance.
