Amazon EC2 M8i instances are now available in additional Regions

Starting today, Amazon EC2 M8i instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Canada (Central) Regions. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, available only on AWS, delivering the highest performance and fastest memory bandwidth among comparable Intel processors in the cloud. The M8i offer up to 15% better price-performance, and 2.5x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation Intel-based instances. They deliver up to 20% better performance than M7i instances, with even higher gains for specific workloads. The M8i instances are up to 30% faster for PostgreSQL databases, up to 60% faster for NGINX web applications, and up to 40% faster for AI deep learning recommendation models compared to M7i instances.

M8i instances are a great choice for all general purpose workloads, especially for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage. The SAP-certified M8i instances offer 13 sizes including 2 bare metal sizes and the new 96xlarge size for the largest applications.

To get started, sign in to the AWS Management Console. For more information about the new instances, visit the M8i instance page or visit the AWS News blog.
