Amazon EC2 I8ge instances now available in AWS Europe (Frankfurt)

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) storage optimized I8ge instances are available in AWS Europe (Frankfurt) region. I8ge instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors to deliver up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous generation Graviton2-based storage optimized Amazon EC2 instances. I8ge instances use the latest third generation AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage that deliver up to 55% better real-time storage performance per TB while offering up to 60% lower storage I/O latency and up to 75% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to previous generation Im4gn instances. At 120 TB, I8ge instances have the highest storage density among AWS Graviton-based storage optimized Amazon EC2 instances. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software enhancing the performance and security for your workloads.

I8ge instances offer instance sizes up to 48xlarge including two metal sizes, 1,536 GiB of memory, and 120 TB instance storage. At 300 Gbps, these instances have the highest networking bandwidth among storage optimized Amazon EC2 instances. They are ideal for real-time applications that require much larger storage density such as relational databases, non-relational databases, streaming databases, search queries and data analytics.
