Amazon EC2 C8gn instances are now available in additional regions

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8gn instances, powered by the latest-generation AWS Graviton4 processors, are available in the AWS Europe (Milan) and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) regions. The new instances provide up to 30% better compute performance than Graviton3-based Amazon EC2 C7gn instances. Amazon EC2 C8gn instances feature the latest 6th generation AWS Nitro Cards, and offer up to 600 Gbps network bandwidth, the highest network bandwidth among network optimized EC2 instances.

Take advantage of the enhanced networking capabilities of C8gn to scale performance and throughput, while optimizing the cost of running network-intensive workloads such as network virtual appliances, data analytics, CPU-based artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) inference.

For increased scalability, C8gn instances offer instance sizes up to 48xlarge, up to 384 GiB of memory, and up to 120 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). C8gn instances support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on the 16xlarge, 24xlarge, 48xlarge, metal-24xl, and metal-48xl sizes, which enables lower latency and improved cluster performance for workloads deployed on tightly coupled clusters.

C8gn instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon, N.California), Europe (Frankfurt, Stockholm, Ireland, London, Spain, Zurich, Milan), Asia Pacific (Singapore, Malaysia, Sydney, Thailand, Mumbai, Seoul, Melbourne, Jakarta, Hyderabad, Tokyo, Hong Kong), Middle East (UAE), Africa (Cape Town), Canada West (Calgary, Central), South America (Sao Paulo), AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West).
