Amazon EC2 I8ge Instances Available in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS has introduced Amazon EC2 I8ge instances in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) regions. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors, offering up to 60% better compute performance compared to previous generation Graviton2-based instances. They feature third-generation AWS Nitro SSDs, local NVMe storage, and deliver up to 55% better real-time storage performance per TB compared to previous generation Im4gn instances. I8ge instances provide up to 60% lower storage I/O latency and up to 75% lower storage I/O latency variability compared to Im4gn instances.

These storage-optimized instances offer up to 120TB of local NVMe storage, making them ideal for workloads requiring rapid local storage with high random read/write performance and consistently low latency for accessing large datasets. Available in eleven different sizes, including two metal sizes, I8ge instances provide flexibility to match various computational needs. They deliver up to 180 Gbps of network performance bandwidth and 60 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), ensuring fast and efficient data transfer for demanding applications.
