      Additional Details:
      All of Loraine labs instances are the old generation of the t2 type instances with the exception of the Jira server running on m5 type instances. The t2 instance family was launched in 2014.

      The new T4g.micro gives more 2vCPU and 1GB memory for $0.0084 per Hour
      while
      t2.micro gives 1vCPU and 1 GB memory for $0.0116 per Hour
      Reference: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/

      This task is for testing out the operational feasibility of the newly launched t4g instances for different applications.
      Task 1: Try out the new instance with the AMI used in devappstore for speed, usability, and execution of the application.
      Task 2: Try out the new instance with the AMI used in BiovizConnect for speed, usability, and execution of the application.
      Task 3: Mention if any changes are involved in deploying the instance, EBS volumes types or AMI's
