t2.micro instance type
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Consul Reference architecture recommends to use either a m5.large or a m5.xlarge instance type for production deployments in AWS, and also recommends to avoid "Burstable CPU" instance types (the T family).
However, the consul module uses a hard coded t2.micro instance type for the autoscaling group. Is there any reason for that? May you accept a PR to parametrise this value? (I want to avoid use our own fork as much as possible).
Please note that while the modules in the /modules folder are meant for production use, the code in the root of this repo is example code designed for learning and ease-of-deployment. The modules in the /modules folder allow you to configure the instance type as you want.
I've also filed #118 to try to clarify this more.
