Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M6in and M6idn instances are available in AWS Region Europe (Spain). These sixth-generation network optimized instances, powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and built on the AWS Nitro System, deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, 2x more network bandwidth and up to 2x higher packet-processing performance over comparable fifth-generation instances. Customers can use M6in and M6idn instances to scale the performance and throughput of network-intensive workloads such as high-performance file systems, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets, real-time big data analytics, and Telco applications such as 5G User Plane Function (UPF).
M6in and M6idn instances are available in 10 different instance sizes including metal, with up to 128 vCPUs and 512 GiB of memory. They also deliver up to 100 Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth and up to 400K IOPS, the highest Amazon EBS performance across EC2 instances. M6in and M6idn instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking support on 32xlarge and metal sizes. M6idn instances offer up to 7.6 TB of high-speed, low-latency instance storage.
With this regional expansion, M6in and M6idn instances are available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, Spain, Stockholm), Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney), and AWS GovCloud (US-West). Customers can purchase the new instances through Savings Plans, Reserved, On-Demand, and Spot instances. To learn more, see the M6in and M6idn instances page.
