AWS launches the preview of Amazon EC2 C8ine instances, powered by custom sixth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Granite Rapids) and the latest AWS Nitro v6 card. These instances are designed specifically for dataplane packet processing workloads.
Amazon EC2 C8ine instance configurations can deliver up to 2.5 times higher packet performance per vCPU versus prior generation C6in instances. They can offer up to 2x higher network bandwidth through internet gateways and up to 3x more Elastic Network Interface (ENI) compared to existing C6in network optimized instances. They are ideal for packet processing workloads requiring high performance at small packet sizes. These workloads include security virtual appliances, firewalls, load balancers, DDoS protection systems, and Telco 5G UPF applications.
These instances are available for preview upon request through your AWS account team. Connect with your account representatives to signup.
