Quickly look up the equivalent IBM instance type to EC2 instance type

Mapping EC2 Instance Types to IBM Cloud Instance Profiles

IBM's new Generation 2 VM Service has new profiles (flavors), this maps common EC2 types to a similar type in IBM Cloud.

Note this is not official don't sue me. This is for quick reference only, always check what you're doing yourself.
