Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Performance Efficiency > PERF 02. How do you select your compute solution? > Determine the required configuration by right-sizing

Analyze the various performance characteristics of your workload and how these characteristics relate to memory, network, and CPU usage. Use this data to choose resources that best match your workload's profile. For example, a memory-intensive workload, such as a database, could be served best by the r-family of instances. However, a bursting workload can benefit more from an elastic container system.

See Determine the required configuration by right-sizing for more information.
