I wonder if we can create a new instance type called 'DOGE' for all my fellow crypto enthusiasts out there.

The answer is clearly 'P' - it stands for 'Profit', which is what the crypto miners are after, am I right?

I think the answer is 'P' as well, it makes sense that they would target profit.

I'm gonna go with 'I' for 'I don't have a clue, let's just guess and hope for the best'.

No, it's actually 'C'. That's the Amazon EC2 instance prefix to monitor for potential crypto mining.

Hmm, 'C' for Crypto? Sounds like a safe bet to me. Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned cryptomining scheme?

I disagree, I believe the answer is D because I read that those instances are more likely to be targeted for crypto mining.
