Overprovisioned —An instance is considered over-provisioned when at least one specification of your instance, such as CPU, memory, or network, can be sized down while still meeting the performance requirements of your workload, and no specification is under-provisioned. Over-provisioned instances may lead to unnecessary infrastructure cost.
Optimized —An instance is considered optimized when all specifications of your instance, such as CPU, memory, and network, meet the performance requirements of your workload and is not over provisioned. An optimized instance runs your workloads with optimal performance and infrastructure cost. For optimized resources, AWS Compute Optimizer might recommend a new generation instance type.
