1xlarge

1xlarge refers to a specific instance type offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) within its Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service. It is a general-purpose instance type designed to provide a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources. The "1xlarge" designation indicates a particular size within a family of instance types, where the number preceding the "xlarge" signifies a multiplier of the base xlarge instance's resources. Therefore, a 1xlarge instance typically has twice the vCPU, RAM, and networking capacity of an xlarge instance. These instances are suitable for a wide range of applications, including web servers, small to medium-sized databases, code repositories, and development/testing environments. They utilize Intel Xeon processors and offer varying amounts of EBS-optimized storage depending on the specific generation of the 1xlarge instance. The exact specifications, such as the number of vCPUs and amount of RAM, can vary slightly between different generations of EC2 instances, but the 1xlarge designation consistently represents a standard size within the general-purpose category.
