Hi all,

Could you please share your experience on what types of AWS EC2 instances you use for FME Flow and FME Form. I wonder if the M5 instance type is recommended since it is used for FME Flow Hosted. We mostly use “t3.large”.

I understand that the choice depends on server load etc., but I would like to know the best practices.

Thanks!

For training we use t3(a).xlarge. Its sufficient for that purpose, but I would want a more powerful instance for large data processing.

One thing to also consider is the iops of your storage, the higher the better (faster)


It really depends on what you want to do with it. Higher specs means shorter processing times (more or less, there’s a lot of factors involved of course) but it’s up to you to decide whether the extra cost is worth it.
