The t2.nano is recommended for low-traffic website hosting, micro services and developer environments which have low memory needs and don’t need consistently high levels of CPU on average, but benefit significantly from having full access to very fast CPUs when they need them. As the requirements of your workload grow, you can scale to larger T2 instance sizes or other EC2 instance types.
T2 instances can be purchased as On-Demand Instances and Reserved Instances. The t2.nano is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), US West (San Francisco), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Brazil (Sao Paolo), and GovCloud (US) regions, with support in EU (Frankfurt) and Australia (Sydney) coming soon.
