Using t2.micro on AWS

mbostleman

I would like to stay within the limits of the free tier on AWS. In the class video for setting up the servers in EC2, he chose a t2.large which is 2 CPUs and 8 GB RAM. But the largest (and only) free tier server is a t2.micro that is 1 CPU and 4 GB RAM. Is a t2.micro going to be sufficient or am I going to regret choosing it?

Hi @mbostleman,

Single CPU core instances may not be sufficient to install and run Kubernetes components:
