What's new
- Amazon EC2 C8in instances are now available in the
us-east-5(Ohio) andeu-west-1(Ireland) regions. - These instances utilize custom 6th generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and AWS Nitro cards.
- C8in instances offer up to 384 vCPUs and 600 Gbps of network bandwidth.
Why it matters
The expansion of C8in instances to additional regions provides higher network throughput and compute density for network-intensive workloads. With up to 600 Gbps of network bandwidth, these instances are suitable for distributed computing, large-scale data analytics, and other applications sensitive to network latency and capacity. The availability across more Availability Zones reduces blast radius for such critical workloads. Consider these for migrating applications previously constrained by network I/O or requiring higher per-instance compute power.
How to use it
C8in instances can be provisioned via On-Demand, Spot instances, and Savings Plans. Check the EC2 instance type availability for c8in in the newly added regions.
