Amazon EC2 I8ge instances now generally available in Europe (Ireland) AWS region.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) announces the availability of Amazon EC2 I8ge instances in Europe (Ireland) AWS region.
I8ge instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors to deliver up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous generation Graviton2-based storage optimized Amazon EC2 instances. I8ge instances use the latest third generation AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage that deliver up to 55% better real-time storage performance per TB while offering up to 60% lower storage I/O latency and up to 75% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to previous generation Im4gn instances.
I8ge instances are high-density storage-optimized instances, for workloads that demand rapid local storage with high random read/write performance and consistently low latency for accessing large data sets. These versatile instances are offered in eleven different sizes including 2 metal sizes, providing flexibility to match customers computational needs. They deliver up to 180 Gbps of network performance bandwidth, and 60 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), ensuring fast and efficient data transfer for the most demanding applications.
