# Supported EC2 Instance Types

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To learn more about deployment types, see [Deployment Types](/3.14/install/aws/deployment-types.md).
{% endhint %}

## 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Any backend instance can also be a client instance.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.weka.io/3.14/install/aws/supported-ec2-instance-types.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
