AWS announces the general availability of new compute-optimized Amazon EC2 C8a instances. C8a instances are powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors (formerly code named Turin) with a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz, delivering up to 30% higher performance and up to 19% better price-performance compared to C7a instances.
C8a instances deliver 33% more memory bandwidth compared to C7a instances, making these instances ideal for latency sensitive workloads. Compared to Amazon EC2 C7a instances, they are up to 57% faster for GroovyJVM allowing better response times for Java-based applications. C8a instances offer 12 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes. This range of instance sizes allows customers to precisely match their workload requirements.
C8a instances are built on AWS Nitro System and are ideal for high performance, compute-intensive workloads such as batch processing, distributed analytics, high performance computing (HPC), ad serving, highly-scalable multiplayer gaming, and video encoding.
C8a instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), and US West (Oregon) regions. To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances. For more information visit the Amazon EC2 C8a instance page.
