As we speak we’re saying normal availability of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8g and M8g cases.
C8g cases are AWS Graviton4 based mostly and are perfect for compute-intensive workloads reminiscent of excessive efficiency computing (HPC), batch processing, gaming, video encoding, scientific modeling, distributed analytics, CPU-based machine studying (ML) inference, and advert serving.
Additionally Graviton4 based mostly, M8g cases present the perfect value efficiency for normal objective workloads. M8g cases are perfect for functions reminiscent of utility servers, microservices, gaming servers, mid-size knowledge shops, and caching fleets.
Now a number of the enhancements that we have now made obtainable in each these cases. C8g and M8g cases provide bigger occasion sizes with as much as 3 times extra vCPUs (as much as 48xl), 3 times the reminiscence (as much as 384GB for C8g and as much as 768GB for M8g), 75 p.c extra reminiscence bandwidth, and two occasions extra L2 cache over equal 7g cases. This lets you course of bigger quantities of information, scale up your workloads, enhance time to outcomes, and decrease your complete value of possession (TCO). These cases additionally provide as much as 50 Gbps community bandwidth and as much as 40 Gbps Amazon Elastic Block Storage (Amazon EBS) bandwidth in comparison with as much as 30 Gbps community bandwidth and as much as 20 Gbps Amazon EBS bandwidth on Graviton3-based cases. Just like R8g cases, C8g and M8g cases provide two naked metallic sizes (metal-24xl and metal-48xl). You possibly can proper measurement your cases and deploy workloads that profit from direct entry to bodily assets.
The specs for the C8g cases are as follows.

Good to know
- AWS Graviton4 processors provide enhanced safety with always-on reminiscence encryption, devoted caches for each vCPU, and help for pointer authentication.
- These cases are constructed on the AWS Nitro System which is a wealthy assortment of constructing blocks that offloads lots of the conventional virtualization capabilities to devoted {hardware} and software program. It delivers excessive efficiency, excessive availability, and excessive safety, thus decreasing virtualization overhead.
- The C8g and M8g cases are perfect for Linux-based workloads together with containerized and microservices-based functions reminiscent of these operating on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), in addition to functions written in well-liked programming languages reminiscent of C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, Python, .NET Core, Node.js, Ruby, and PHP.
Accessible now
C8g and M8g cases can be found right this moment within the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Frankfurt) AWS Areas. As regular with Amazon EC2, you pay just for what you utilize. For extra info, see Amazon EC2 Pricing. Take a look at the gathering of AWS Graviton assets that can assist you begin migrating your functions to Graviton occasion sorts. You too can go to the AWS Graviton Quick Begin program to start your Graviton adoption journey.
