      Server Description

      A highly constrained, single-core legacy micro instance designed for basic utility scripting and low-traffic administrative tasks.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services t1.micro is a first-generation burstable micro instance designed for low-resource utility workloads. Running on the Xen hypervisor, it features a single-core Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 processor with a 32-bit i386 architecture, operating at 2.5 GHz. The instance is configured with 0.6 GB of RAM, no local storage, and a baseline network bandwidth of 0 Gbps. Benchmark results place the t1.micro in the bottom 10% for most performance categories, including a Passmark CPU score of 1121.29 and a memory score of 0.0. It lacks modern CPU instruction sets such as AVX and AES, which limits its cryptographic and vector processing capabilities. Given these resource constraints, the t1.micro is best suited for lightweight administrative tasks, basic scripting, or low-traffic static web serving rather than database hosting or intensive computational workloads.

      Workload Profiles

      0.076Score
      Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.Partial coverage: missing component benchmark(s): PassMark Memory Mark (composite).
