Introducing Amazon EC2 M8in and M8ib instances

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 M8in network optimized instances and Amazon EC2 M8ib EBS optimized instances. The new instances are powered by custom sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, available only on AWS. These instances also feature the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards. M8in and M8ib deliver up to 43% higher performance compared to previous generation M6in and M6ib instances.

M8in instances deliver 600 Gbps network bandwidth, the highest network bandwidth among enhanced networking EC2 instances, and are ideal for workloads such as real-time big data analytics, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets for AI/ML clusters, and Telco applications such as 5G User Plane Function (UPF).

M8ib instances deliver up to 300Gbps EBS bandwidth, the highest among non-accelerated compute EC2 instances, and are best suited for workloads that benefit from high block storage performance, such as high-performance file systems and NoSQL databases.

Amazon EC2 M8in and Amazon EC2 M8ib instances are available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Europe (Spain) regions, via Savings Plans, On-Demand, and Spot instances. For more information, visit the Amazon EC2 M8i instance page.
