Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances with up to 22.8 TB local NVMe storage are generally available

Last year, we launched the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8i instances, M8i instances, and R8i instances powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors available only on AWS with sustained all-core 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. They deliver the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud.

Today we’re announcing new Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances backed by up to 22.8TB of NVMe-based SSD block-level instance storage physically connected to the host server. These instances offer 3 times more vCPUs, memory and local storage compared to previous sixth-generation instances.

These instances deliver up to 43% higher compute performance and 3.3 times more memory bandwidth compared to previous sixth-generation instances. They also deliver up to 46% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads, and up to 30% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics compared to ...
