Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8in instances are available in the AWS US East (Ohio) and Europe (Ireland) regions. C8in instances are powered by custom, sixth generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, available only on AWS. These instances feature the latest sixth generation AWS Nitro cards, delivering up to 43% higher performance compared to previous generation C6in instances. C8in 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 net
AWS continues its regular cadence of regional expansion for its latest instance types to provide broader access and improve regional latency.
This expansion provides increased high-performance computing capabilities, particularly for network-intensive workloads, to more AWS customers.
Customers in additional regions now have access to faster, more powerful, and larger EC2 instances, potentially enabling new workloads or improving existing ones.
- · AWS customers in new regions
- · Intel (as processor supplier)
- · Cloud-native applications requiring high network throughput
- · Other cloud providers with less performant networking options
Increased adoption of C8in instances in the newly available regions.
Potential for new or more demanding applications to be deployed on AWS due to improved network and compute performance.
Further entrenchment of AWS as a leading provider for high-performance, network-intensive workloads, impacting competitive dynamics.
