Introducing Amazon EC2 M8idn and M8idb instances

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 M8idn and Amazon EC2 M8idb instances, powered by custom sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, available only on AWS. These instances also feature the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards. M8idn and M8idb deliver up to 43% better compute performance per vCPU compared to previous generation M6idn instances.

Amazon EC2 M8idn instances offer up to 600 Gbps network bandwidth, the highest network bandwidth among enhanced networking EC2 instances. Amazon EC2 M8idb instances deliver up to 300 Gbps EBS bandwidth, the highest EBS performance among non-accelerated compute EC2 instances.

M8idn instances are ideal for network-intensive general purpose workloads requiring local storage, such as distributed compute, data analytics, and high-performance file systems. M8idb instances are ideal for storage-intensive general purpose workloads such as large commercial databases, data lakes, and NoSQL databases that benefit from both high EBS throughput and low-latency local NVMe storage.

Amazon EC2 M8idn and Amazon EC2 M8idb instances are available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Spain). M8idn and M8idb instances are available via Savings Plans, On-Demand, and Spot instances. For more information, visit the Amazon EC2 M8i instance page.
