While far from being a comprehensive guide for performance tuning, the following advice is provided for selecting the hot tier instance configuration:

Deployment template Hot data tier instance configuration Notes
Storage Optimized aws.es.datahot.i3 Good for most ingestion use cases with 7-10 days of data available for fast access. Also good for light search use cases without heavy indexing or CPU needs.
Storage Optimized (ARM) aws.es.datahot.i8g Good for most ingestion use cases with 7-10 days of data available for fast access. Also good for light search use cases without heavy indexing or CPU needs.
Storage Optimized (Dense) aws.es.datahot.i3en Ideal for ingestion use cases with more than 10 days of data available for fast access. Also, good for light search use cases with very large data sets.
CPU Optimized aws.es.datahot.c5d Suitable for ingestion use cases with 1-4 days of data available for fast access and for search use cases with indexing and querying workloads. Provides the most CPU resources per unit of RAM.
CPU Optimized (ARM) aws.es.datahot.c8gd Suitable for ingestion use cases with 1-4 days of data available for fast access and for search use cases with indexing and querying workloads. Provides the most CPU resources per unit of RAM.
Vector Search - CPU Optimized (ARM) aws.es.datahot.search.c8gd Optimized for applications that leverage Vector Search and/or Generative AI. Also the optimal choice for utilizing ELSER for semantic search applications. Broadly suitable for all semantic search, text embedding, image search, and other Vector Search use cases.
General Purpose aws.es.datahot.m5d Suitable for ingestion use cases with 5-7 days of data available for fast access. Also good for search workloads with less-frequent indexing and medium to high querying loads. Provides a balance of storage, memory, and CPU.
General Purpose (ARM) aws.es.datahot.m6gd Suitable for ingestion use cases with 5-7 days of data available for fast access. Also good for search workloads with less-frequent indexing and medium to high querying loads. Provides a balance of storage, memory, and CPU.
