instanceFamily

The instance family to use as a baseline reference.

Make sure that you specify the correct value for the instance family. The instance family is everything before the period (.) in the instance type name. For example, in the instance c6i.large, the instance family is c6i, not c6. For more information, see Amazon EC2 instance type naming conventions in Amazon EC2 Instance Types.

The following instance types are not supported for performance protection.

• c1

• g3| g3s

• hpc7g

• m1| m2

• mac1 | mac2 | mac2-m1ultra | mac2-m2 | mac2-m2pro

• p3dn | p4d | p5

• t1

• u-12tb1 | u-18tb1 | u-24tb1 | u-3tb1 | u-6tb1 | u-9tb1 | u7i-12tb | u7in-16tb | u7in-24tb | u7in-32tb

If you performance protection by specifying a supported instance family, the returned instance types will exclude the preceding unsupported instance families.

If you specify an unsupported instance family as a value for baseline performance, the API returns an empty response.
