Amazon EC2 C7i instances now available in the Israel (Tel Aviv) region
Amazon EC2 C7i instances, powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, are now available in the Israel (Tel Aviv) Region. They offer up to 15% better price-performance versus C6i instances, larger instance sizes up to 48xlarge, bare metal options, Intel AMX support, and up to 128 EBS volumes.
Amazon EC2 C7i instances powered by custom 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) are now available in the Israel (Tel Aviv) Region. C7i instances deliver up to 15% better price-performance versus C6i instances and are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as batch processing, distributed analytics, ad-serving, and video encoding. They offer larger instance sizes, up to 48xlarge, and two bare metal sizes (metal-24xl, metal-48xl). These bare-metal sizes support built-in Intel accelerators: Data Streaming Accelerator, In-Memory Analytics Accelerator, and QuickAssist Technology, which facilitate efficient offload and acceleration of data operations and optimize performance for workloads. C7i instances also support new Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) that accelerate matrix multiplication operations for applications such as CPU-based ML. Customers can attach up to 128 EBS volumes to a C7i instance, compared to up to 28 EBS volumes for a C6i instance, enabling processing of larger datasets, scaling workloads, and improved performance over C6i instances.
