Amazon has rolled out new EC2 instance types: C8id, M8id, and R8id, all featuring up to 22.8 TB of NVMe storage. These instances deliver a significant boost over previous sixth-generation models, offering three times the vCPUs, memory, and local storage. The C8id instances excel in compute-heavy tasks like video encoding, while M8id instances balance compute and memory for tasks like media processing. R8id instances cater to memory-intensive applications such as large-scale databases and AI inference. The new instances scale up to 96xlarge, equipped with up to 384 vCPUs and 3 TiB of memory. They provide up to 43% higher compute performance and 3.3 times more memory bandwidth compared to earlier models. Each instance type is available in multiple configurations, allowing users to choose sizes that best fit their workloads. Notably, two bare metal configurations offer direct access to physical resources, enhancing performance for demanding applications. These instances support the Instance Bandwidth Configuration feature, allowing for adjustments between network and Amazon EBS bandwidth. They utilize AWS Nitro cards to offload virtualization, storage, and networking tasks, improving performance and security. Local NVMe storage is hardware encrypted and tied to the lifespan of the instance, disappearing upon termination. The new instances are currently available in several US regions and parts of Europe. Users can access these instances through various purchase options, including On-Demand and Spot Instances.
