AWS OpsWorks now supports more Amazon EC2 instance types including the micro instance

Posted on: Apr 25, 2013

We are excited to announce the addition of Amazon EBS-backed Amazon EC2 instances to give users more instance types to choose for their development needs, including the AWS Free Usage Tier-eligible micro instance. Users now have the ability to use micro instances to reduce costs in development environments as well as larger instance types such as the second generation M3 family for applications that demand more performance. See offer terms for more details and other restrictions on the AWS Free Usage Tier.

A few clicks in the AWS Management Console are all it takes to get your first application running on AWS OpsWorks. You can learn more by reading our documentation walk-through.
