      Server Description

      A burstable, entry-level x86_64 compute instance designed for lightweight workloads and development environments with variable resource demands.

      Burstable & BudgetGeneral Purpose

      Amazon Web Services t3a.small is a burstable performance instance designed for entry-level workloads. It features an x86_64 AMD EPYC 7571 processor running at 2.2 GHz, providing 2 vCPUs across 1 physical core, and 2.0 GB of DDR4 RAM. Operating on the AWS Nitro hypervisor, the instance does not include local storage or a GPU, and has a baseline network bandwidth of 0 Gbps. Benchmark data indicates modest performance, with stress-ng and PassMark scores falling into the bottom 10% of tested instances. The burstable CPU allocation model offers qualitative cost efficiency for workloads with variable resource demands. This instance is best suited for low-traffic web serving, development environments, and lightweight background tasks.

      Workload Profiles

      0.103Score
      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.
