Provides varied instance types suitable for hosting based on the use cases we need.

Need to request instance quota limit every time if you want to spin multiple high end machines. Also choosing the right instance types needs better understanding on the specifications. The feature does not cover all use cases "Get advice on instance type selection". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
