## Storage EC2 Instances

The following EC2 instance types can operate as **backend**, **client,** or **converged** instances:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="214">EC2 Instance Type</th><th>Supported Models</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>EC2 Instance Type</strong></td><td><strong>Supported Models</strong></td></tr><tr><td>I3en</td><td>i3en.2xlarge, i3en.3xlarge, i3en.6xlarge, i3en.12xlarge, i3en.24xlarge</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Client EC2 Instances

The following EC2 instance types can operate as **client** instances.
