Answer: Compute optimized instances

## Explanation Compute optimized instances are specifically designed for CPU-intensive workloads. Here's why: - **Compute optimized instances** (C-series) provide high-performance processors and are ideal for compute-bound applications that benefit from high compute power - **General purpose instances** (T, M series) provide a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources for a variety of workloads - **Memory optimized instances** (R, X series) are designed for memory-intensive applications that require large amounts of RAM - **Storage optimized instances** (I, D series) are optimized for storage-intensive workloads that require high, sequential read and write access to large data sets For CPU-intensive workloads like batch processing, media transcoding, high-performance web servers, scientific modeling, and gaming servers, compute optimized instances provide the best price-performance ratio.
