Amazon EC2 M8gn and M8gb instances are now available in AWS Europe (Ireland) region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M8gn and M8gb instances are available in the AWS Europe (Ireland) region. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors to deliver up to 30% better compute performance than AWS Graviton3 processors, and feature the latest 6th generation AWS Nitro Cards. M8gn instances offer up to 600 Gbps network bandwidth, the highest network bandwidth among network optimized EC2 instances. M8gb offer up to 300 Gbps of EBS bandwidth to provide higher EBS performance compared to same-sized equivalent Graviton4-based instances.

M8gn are ideal for network-intensive workloads such as high-performance file systems, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets, real-time big data analytics, and Telco applications such as 5G User Plane Function (UPF). M8gn instances offer instance sizes up to 48xlarge and metal-48xl, up to 768 GiB of memory, up to 600 Gbps of networking bandwidth, and up to 120 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). They support EFA networking on the 16xlarge, 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes, enabling lower latency and improved cluster performance for workloads deployed on tightly coupled clusters.

M8gb are ideal for workloads requiring high block storage performance such as high performance databases and NoSQL databases. M8gb instances offer sizes up to 48xlarge and metal-48xl, up to 768 GiB of memory, up to 300 Gbps of EBS bandwidth, and up to 400 Gbps of networking bandwidth. They also support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on the 16xlarge, 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes.

The new instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland). Metal sizes are available in US East (N. Virginia) region.
