Amazon EC2 I8ge instances now available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions
Amazon EC2 I8ge instances leverage AWS Graviton4 processors, delivering up to 60% better compute performance and significantly improved storage performance for storage-optimized workloads
Amazon EC2 I8ge instances are now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions. Powered by AWS Graviton4 processors, I8ge instances deliver up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous generation Graviton2-based storage-optimized Amazon EC2 instances. They utilize third-generation AWS Nitro SSDs and local NVMe storage, providing up to 55% better real-time storage performance per TB compared to previous generation Amazon EC2 Im4gn instances. I8ge instances offer up to 60% lower storage I/O latency and up to 75% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to Im4gn instances. These storage-optimized instances provide up to 120TB of local NVMe storage, making them ideal for workloads that require fast local storage with high random read/write performance and consistently low latency for accessing large datasets. Available in eleven different sizes including two metal sizes, 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.
