Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances now available in additional regions

Amazon EC2 C8id, M8id, and R8id instances are now available in the Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and Europe (Stockholm, London) regions. These instances are powered by custom Intel Xeon 6 processors, delivering up to 43% higher performance and 3.3x more memory bandwidth compared to previous generation C6id, M6id, and R6id instances. C8id, M8id, and R8id instances offer up to 384 vCPUs, 3 TiB of memory, and 22.8 TiB of NVMe SSD storage, three times more than previous generation instances. They deliver up to 46% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads and up to 30% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics compared to previous sixth-generation instances. Additionally, these instances support Instance Bandwidth Configuration, allowing 25% flexible allocation between network and EBS bandwidth to optimize resources for each workload. C8id instances are ideal for compute-intensive workloads such as high-performance web servers, batch processing, distributed analytics, ad serving, video encoding, and gaming servers. M8id instances are well-suited for balanced workloads including application servers, microservices, enterprise applications, and small to medium databases. R8id instances are ideal for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, real-time big data analytics, large in-memory caches, and scientific computing applications. Customers can purchase these instances via Savings Plans, On-Demand instances, and Spot instances. For more information visit the Amazon EC2 instance type page.
