Amazon EC2 I7i instances now available in AWS Europe (Milan) and AWS US West (N. California)

AWS is announcing the availability of high performance Storage optimized Amazon EC2 I7i instances in AWS Europe (Milan) and US West (N. California) regions. Powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon Processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, these new instances deliver up to 23% better compute performance and more than 10% better price performance over previous generation I4i instances. Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, I7i instances offer up to 45TB of NVMe storage with up to 50% better real-time storage performance, up to 50% lower storage I/O latency, and up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4i instances.

I7i instances offer compute and storage performance for x86-based storage optimized instances in Amazon EC2 ideal for I/O intensive and latency-sensitive workloads that demand very high random IOPS performance with real-time latency to access the small to medium size datasets. Additionally, torn write prevention feature support up to 16KB block sizes, enabling customers to eliminate database performance bottlenecks.

I7i instances are available in eleven sizes – nine virtual sizes up to 48xlarge and two bare metal sizes – delivering up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth and 60Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth. To learn more, visit the I7i instances page.
