Today, we are announcing enhanced Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) performance for Amazon EC2 High Memory U7i instances. This improvement delivers increased storage performance for memory-intensive workloads such as SAP HANA, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server databases.
With the latest enhancements to the AWS Nitro System, U7i instances now support up to 560,000 IOPS and 100 Gbps of EBS-optimized bandwidth. We recommend using io2 Block Express volumes for maximum IOPS performance. This increased EBS performance enables faster database operations and reduced restart times for large in-memory databases.
All existing and new U7i instances launched starting today will benefit from this performance increase at no additional cost. For running instances, you can simply stop and start your instances to enable this performance increase. The higher EBS performance is available in all AWS Regions where U7i instances are generally available today. Please visit the EBS-optimized instance page for more details.
