      Server Description

      A highly economical, burstable x86_64 instance designed for low-utilization microservices, basic scripting, and lightweight development environments.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services t3.nano is an entry-level, burstable virtual machine instance utilizing the Nitro hypervisor and an x86_64 Intel Xeon 8259CL processor clocked at 2.5 GHz. It is configured with 2 vCPUs and 0.5 GB of DDR4 memory at 3 GHz. The instance does not include local storage or dedicated GPU hardware. Benchmark results indicate limited compute capacity, with a stress-ng multi-core score of 1661.39 and a static web serving throughput of 1.72 GB/sec, placing its performance in the lower percentiles. This resource profile makes the t3.nano a highly cost-efficient option for low-intensity, burstable workloads. It is best suited for lightweight tasks such as microservices, small development environments, low-traffic web serving, and basic background scripting.

      Workload Profiles

      0.11Score
      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).
