Today, AWS announces increased Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) performance for Amazon EC2 C8gn, M8gn, and R8gn instances in 48xlarge and metal-48xl sizes.
EC2 C8gn, M8gn, and R8gn instances are network optimized instances powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and latest 6th generation AWS Nitro Cards. With the latest enhancements to AWS Nitro System, we have doubled the maximum EBS performance on these instances in 48xlarge and metal-48xl sizes, from 60 Gbps of EBS bandwidth and 240,000 IOPS to 120 Gbps of EBS bandwidth and 480,000 IOPS. Customers running network-intensive workloads while requiring additional block storage performance such as data analytics and high-performance file systems can benefit from the improved EBS performance.
All existing and new C8gn, M8gn, and R8gn instances in 48xlarge and metal-48xl sizes launched starting today will benefit from this performance increase at no additional cost. For running instances, customers can stop and start instances to enable this performance increase. The higher EBS performance is available in all AWS regions where these instance types are generally available today.
