Amazon EC2 I7ie instances expand availability to more AWS regions
AWS has expanded the availability of Amazon EC2 I7ie instances to several new regions. These instances are designed for large storage I/O intensive workloads, offering improved performance and efficiency.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced that starting today, Amazon EC2 I7ie instances will be accessible in several additional AWS regions. These regions include Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Europe (Zurich), Europe (Milan), and Mexico (Central). The I7ie instances are specifically designed to handle large storage I/O intensive workloads.
These instances are powered by 5th Generation Intel Xeon Processors, which feature an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz. This upgrade offers up to a 40% improvement in compute performance and a 20% enhancement in price performance compared to the previous I3en instances.
The I7ie instances provide up to 120TB of local NVMe storage density, making them highly suitable for storage-optimized applications. They also offer double the number of vCPUs and memory compared to earlier generations. With the support of 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, these instances ensure up to a 65% increase in real-time storage performance, a 50% reduction in storage I/O latency, and a 65% decrease in storage I/O latency variability compared to the I3en instances.
These high-density storage optimized instances are ideal for applications that require swift local storage with high random read/write performance and consistent low latency to access extensive datasets. The I7ie instances are available in nine virtual sizes and offer up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth, along with 60Gbps of bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS).
