Performance tuning and optimization
Performance tuning is about maximizing the performance of your system, optimizing the overall system functionality, and squeezing out every bit of processing power to maximize the value of the resource you rely on. In this section, we will delve into the exploration on how to operate your EC2 instance effectively and efficiently:
- Rightsize your instances: Ensure you choose an appropriate instance type and size for your workload. Utilize CloudWatch metrics to monitor the performance and adjust the instance types based on the requirements.
- Use latest generation instances: Consider relying on the latest generation instances, as they usually offer better performance, scalability, and additional capabilities at a similar or lower price.
- Optimize CPU and memory: Balance the CPU and memory resources based on the needs of your applications. Ensure neither of them is a bottleneck for your application.
- Enhance network performance: Optimize...
