Amazon EC2 X2idn and X2iedn instances are now available in more regions and bare metal sizes
Starting today, Amazon EC2 X2idn and X2iedn are available in additional regions and bare metal sizes. X2idn instances are now available in US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). X2iedn instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Mumbai) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). X2idn and X2iedn are powered by 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency up to 3.5 GHz and deliver up to 50% higher compute price performance than comparable X1 instances. X2idn and X2iedn instances both include up to 3.8 TB of local NVMe SSD storage and up to 100 Gbps of networking bandwidth. X2idn offers up to 2 TiB of memory and X2iedn offers up to 4 TiB of memory. X2idn has a 16:1 ratio of memory to vCPU and X2iedn has a 32:1 ratio, making these instances a great fit for workloads such as in-memory databases and analytics, big data processing engines, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads. X2idn and X2iedn instances are SAP-Certified.

Bare metal instances allow EC2 customers to run applications that benefit from deep performance analysis tools, specialized workloads that require direct access to bare metal infrastructure, legacy workloads not supported in virtual environments, and licensing-restricted business critical applications. They provide your applications with direct access to the 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor and memory resources of the underlying server. Workloads on bare metal instances continue to take advantage of all the comprehensive services and features of the AWS Cloud, such as Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), Elastic Load Balancer (ELB), and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Bare metal instances also make it possible for customers to run secured containers such as Clear Linux Containers.
With the addition of additional regions and bare metal sizes, X2idn instances are available in four sizes ranging from 64 to 128 vCPUs with 1,024 to 2,048 GiB of memory. X2iedn are available in eight sizes ranging from 4 to 128 vCPUs with 128 to 4,096 GiB of memory. X2idn and X2iedn virtual instances are now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland), and AWS GovCloud (US-West). To get started, visit the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), and AWS SDKs. To learn more, visit the X2i instance page.
