Introducing Amazon EC2 C8in and C8ib instances

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon EC2 C8in and C8ib instances powered by custom, sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, available only on AWS. These instances feature the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards. C8in and C8ib instances deliver up to 43% higher performance compared to previous generation C6in instances.

C8in and C8ib instances deliver larger sizes and scale up to 384 vCPUs. C8in instances deliver 600 Gbps network bandwidth—the highest among enhanced networking EC2 instances—making them ideal for network-intensive workloads like distributed compute and large-scale data analytics. C8ib instances deliver up to 300 Gbps EBS bandwidth, the highest among non-accelerated compute instances, making them ideal for high-performance commercial databases and file systems.

C8in instances are available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Europe (Spain) regions. C8ib instances are available in US East (N. Virginia) and US West (Oregon). Both, C8in and C8ib instances are available via Savings Plans, On-Demand, and Spot instances. For more information, visit the Amazon EC2 C8i instance page.
