Amazon EC2 I7ie instances are now available in additional AWS regions

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of Amazon EC2 I7ie instances in the AWS Europe (Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), and US West (N. California) regions. Designed for large storage I/O intensive workloads, these new instances are powered by 5th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, offering up to 40% better compute performance and 20% better price performance over previous generation I3en instances.

I7ie instances offer up to 120TB local NVMe storage density—the highest available in the cloud for storage optimized instances—and deliver up to twice as many vCPUs and memory compared to prior generation instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, these instances achieve up to 65% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and 65% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I3en instances. Additionally, torn write prevention feature support up to 16KB block sizes, enables customers to eliminate performance bottlenecks for database workloads.

I7ie instances are high-density storage-optimized instances, for workloads that demand rapid local storage with high random read/write performance and consistently low latency for accessing large data sets. These instances are offered in eleven different sizes including 2 metal sizes, providing flexibility for customers computational needs. They deliver up to 100 Gbps of network performance bandwidth, and 60 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), ensuring fast and efficient data transfer for applications.
