You can find the following instance type families:
General Purpose
These instance types belong to the M1 family and are best suited for general purpose applications that do not require high computing power or a large amount of memory. They will fit most of the applications.
Compute-optimized
Memory-optimized
Micro instances
m1.tiny is a special instance type that provides a very small amount of CPU, low memory and no additional disk.
