Similar to T3 Instances, T3a instances are next generation burstable general-purpose instance type that provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst CPU usage at any time for as long as required. T3a instances offer a balance of compute, memory, and network resources for a broad spectrum of general purpose workloads including micro-services, low-latency interactive applications, small and medium databases, virtual desktops, development environments, code repositories, and business-critical applications.
These instances are available today in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Singapore) AWS Regions. T3a instances are available in 7 sizes, with 2, 4, and 8 vCPUs. The new instances can be purchased as On-Demand, Reserved or Spot Instances.
