A comment on EC2 Bare Metal Instances with Direct Access to Hardware.

Will there be smaller instances available eventually? I'm interested in bare metal performance but I don't need an instance that huge for my current workload.

Our goal is to for the majority of virtualized EC2 instances to be indistinguishable from bare metal (if not better). In most CPU and memory intensive benchmarks there is very little difference between an virtualized EC2 instance and bare metal, especially for smaller numbers of cores and memory sizes.
