We just lately launched Amazon EC2 M6i situations powered by the most recent technology Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of three.5 GHz, which supply prospects as much as 15% enchancment in value efficiency in comparison with M5 situations.
As we speak, I’m comfortable to announce the supply of the brand new compute-optimized Amazon EC2 C6i situations, which supply as much as 15% enchancment in value efficiency for quite a lot of workloads, versus comparable C5 situations. These situations are perfect for operating compute-intensive workloads akin to batch processing, machine studying, high-end gaming, excessive efficiency computing (HPC) workloads, advert serving, and video encoding.
In comparison with C5 situations utilizing an Intel processor, this new occasion sort supplies:
- As much as 15% enchancment in compute value efficiency.
- As much as 9% increased reminiscence bandwidth.
- As much as 40 Gbps for Amazon Elastic Block Retailer (EBS) and 50 Gbps for networking.
- At all times-on reminiscence encryption.
Like M6i, C6i situations can be found in 9 sizes:
Identify | vCPUs | Reminiscence (GiB) |
Community Bandwidth (Gbps) |
EBS Throughput (Gbps) |
c6i.giant | 2 | 4 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
c6i.xlarge | 4 | 8 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
c6i.2xlarge | 8 | 16 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
c6i.4xlarge | 16 | 32 | As much as 12.5 | As much as 10 |
c6i.8xlarge | 32 | 64 | 12.5 | 10 |
c6i.12xlarge | 48 | 96 | 18.75 | 15 |
c6i.16xlarge | 64 | 128 | 25 | 20 |
c6i.24xlarge | 96 | 192 | 37.5 | 30 |
c6i.32xlarge | 128 | 256 | 50 | 40 |
The brand new situations are constructed on the AWS Nitro System, a group of constructing blocks that offloads lots of the conventional virtualization capabilities to devoted {hardware} for prime efficiency, excessive availability, and extremely safe cloud situations.
As it is best to do with M6i situations, for optimum networking efficiency, improve your Elastic Community Adapter (ENA) drivers to model 3. For extra info, see this text about migrating an EC2 occasion to a sixth-generation occasion within the AWS Information Middle.
C6i situations help Elastic Material Adapter (EFA) on the c6i.32xlarge measurement for workloads that may profit from decrease community latency, akin to HPC and video processing.
Accessible Now
C6i situations can be found at present in 4 AWS Areas: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), and EU (Eire). As standard with EC2, you pay for what you utilize. For extra info, see the EC2 pricing web page.
To study extra, go to the EC2 C6i occasion web page. You’ll be able to ship suggestions to the AWS discussion board for Amazon EC2 or by means of your standard AWS Help contacts.
