Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M8id instances with up to 22.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are now available in Asia Pacific (Malaysia) and Asia Pacific (Sydney). M8id instances are designed for workloads that require a balance of compute and memory resources along with high-speed, low-latency local block storage, including data logging, media processing, and medium-sized data stores.
Amazon EC2 M8id instances offer 3 times more vCPUs, memory and local storage compared to previous sixth-generation instances. These instances deliver up to 43% higher compute performance and 3.3 times more memory bandwidth compared to previous sixth-generation M6id instances. They also deliver up to 46% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads, and up to 30% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics compared to previous sixth generation instances.
Additionally, customers can now adjust the network and Amazon EBS bandwidth on these instances by 25% using EC2 instance bandwidth weighting configuration, providing greater flexibility with the allocation of bandwidth resources to better optimize workloads. These instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes.
Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances. For more information visit the Amazon EC2 M8id page.
