Amazon EC2 C7i-flex, M7i-flex & M7i instances now available in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7i-flex, M7i-flex and M7i instances powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) are available in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) region. These custom processors, available only on AWS, offer up to 15% better performance over comparable x86-based Intel processors utilized by other cloud providers.

C7i-flex and M7i-flex instances are the easiest way for you to get price-performance benefits for a majority of general-purpose workloads. They deliver up to 19% better price-performance compared to C6i and M6i instances respectively. These instances offer the most common sizes, from large to 16xlarge, and are a great first choice for applications that don't fully utilize all compute resources such as web and application servers, virtual-desktops, batch-processing, and microservices.

M7i deliver up to 15% better price-performance compared to M6i. M7i instances are a great choice for workloads that need the largest instance sizes or continuous high CPU usage, such as gaming servers, CPU-based machine learning (ML), and video-streaming. M7i offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge, and two bare metal sizes (metal-24xl, metal-48xl). These bare-metal sizes support built-in Intel accelerators: Data Streaming Accelerator, In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and QuickAssist Technology that are used to facilitate efficient offload and acceleration of data operations and optimize performance for workloads.
