AWS Europe (Paris) Region: High Performance Storage Optimized I7i Instances Available

AWS has launched high performance Storage optimized Amazon EC2 I7i instances in the AWS Europe (Paris) region. These instances are powered by 5th Gen Intel Xeon Processors with an all-core turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, offering up to 23% better compute performance and more than 10% better price performance compared to previous generation I4i instances.

Powered by 3rd generation AWS Nitro SSDs, I7i instances provide up to 45TB of NVMe storage with:

• Up to 50% better real-time storage performance
• Up to 50% lower storage I/O latency
• Up to 60% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to I4i instances

These instances are ideal for I/O intensive and latency-sensitive workloads that require high random IOPS performance with real-time latency for small to medium size datasets. They also support torn write prevention for block sizes up to 16KB, helping to eliminate database performance bottlenecks.

I7i instances are available in eleven sizes, including nine virtual sizes up to 48xlarge and two bare metal sizes, offering up to 100Gbps of network bandwidth and 60Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth.
