Starting today, AWS Graviton3E-based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C7gn instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Tokyo). Amazon EC2 C7gn instances feature the new 5th generation AWS Nitro Cards and deliver the highest network bandwidth, the best packet-processing performance, and the best price performance for network-intensive workloads. C7gn instances offer up to 200 Gbps network bandwidth and up to 3x higher packet-processing performance per vCPU versus comparable current generation x86-based network optimized instances. Take advantage of the enhanced networking capabilities to scale performance and throughput while optimizing the cost of running network-intensive workloads. Workload examples include network virtual appliances, data analytics, and CPU-based artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) inference.
For increased scalability, C7gn instances are available in 8 different instance sizes. These instances offer up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). C7gn instances support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on the 16xlarge size, which enables lower latency and improved cluster performance for workloads deployed on tightly coupled clusters.
With this regional expansion, C7gn instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). They can be purchased as Savings Plans, Reserved, On-Demand, and Spot instances.
