AWS - Why does AWS EC2 t2.micro instance show 8GB RAM?

I'm trying to figure out what size instance I need for my webapp, but am confused by this: ubuntu

A t2.micro only has 1 gig of memory, but yet this looks like I have 8.

There's no swap usage so how much memory does my instance actually have?

Thanks.

I think you got the answer, but to confirm that its a disk try this command

df -h

you will see that Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

  1. To confirm your memory try this command.

    free -h

what you see in the screenshot is disk size, the EBS storage, not the RAM the default disk size is 8 GB and is mounted under / path
