Final yr, we launched the Amazon EC2 M6i cases and C6i cases, our sixth-generation choices that embrace third era Intel Xeon Scalable processors.
In the present day we’re increasing Amazon EC2 M6id and C6id cases, backed by NVMe-based SSD block-level occasion storage bodily linked to the host server. These cases are powered by the Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) with an all-core turbo frequency of three.5 GHz, geared up with as much as 7.6 TB of native NVMe-based SSD block-level storage, and ship as much as 15 % higher value efficiency in comparison with earlier era cases.
M6id cases are perfect for workloads that require a stability of compute and reminiscence sources together with high-speed, low-latency native block storage, together with knowledge logging and media processing. C6id is right for compute-intensive workloads, together with people who want entry to high-speed, low-latency native storage like video encoding, picture manipulation, and different types of media processing. Each M6id and C6id will even profit purposes that want momentary storage of information, reminiscent of batch and log processing and purposes that want caches and scratch recordsdata.
In comparison with earlier era cases, new occasion sorts present:
- As much as 58 % larger storage per vCPU and 34 % decrease value per TB in comparison with M5d cases, and as much as 138 % larger storage per vCPU and 56 % decrease value per TB in contrast with C5d cases.
- Bigger occasion sizes (32xlarge) with as much as 128 vCPUs and 512 GiB (M6id) or 256 GiB (C6id) of reminiscence that make it simpler and extra cost-efficient to consolidate workloads and scale up purposes.
- As much as 15 % enchancment in compute value efficiency and 20 % larger reminiscence bandwidth.
- 2 occasions elevated bandwidth as much as 40 Gbps for Amazon EBS and 50 Gbps for networking.
Listed below are the specs of M6id cases intimately:
| Occasion Identify | vCPUs | RAM (GiB) | Native NVMe SSD Storage (GB) | EBS Throughput (Gbps) | Community Bandwidth (Gbps) |
| m6id.giant | 2 | 8 | 1 x 118 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| m6id.xlarge | 4 | 16 | 1 x 237 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| m6id.2xlarge | 8 | 32 | 1 x 474 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| m6id.4xlarge | 16 | 64 | 1 x 950 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| m6id.8xlarge | 32 | 128 | 1 x 1900 | 10 | 12.5 |
| m6id.12xlarge | 48 | 192 | 2 x 1425 | 15 | 18.75 |
| m6id.16xlarge | 64 | 156 | 2 x 1900 | 20 | 25 |
| m6id.24xlarge | 96 | 384 | 4 x 1425 | 30 | 37.5 |
| m6id.32xlarge | 128 | 512 | 4 x 1900 | 40 | 50 |
| m6id.metallic | 128 | 512 | 4 x 1900 | 40 | 50 |
Listed below are additionally the specs of C6id cases intimately:
| Occasion Identify | vCPUs | RAM (GiB) | Native NVMe SSD Storage (GB) | EBS Throughput (Gbps) | Community Bandwidth (Gbps) |
| c6id.giant | 2 | 4 | 1 x 118 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| c6id.xlarge | 4 | 8 | 1 x 237 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| c6id.2xlarge | 8 | 16 | 1 x 474 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| c6id.4xlarge | 16 | 32 | 1 x 950 | As much as 10 | As much as 12.5 |
| c6id.8xlarge | 32 | 64 | 1 x 1900 | 10 | 12.5 |
| c6id.12xlarge | 48 | 96 | 2 x 1425 | 15 | 18.75 |
| c6id.16xlarge | 64 | 128 | 2 x 1900 | 20 | 25 |
| c6id.24xlarge | 96 | 192 | 4 x 1425 | 30 | 37.5 |
| c6id.32xlarge | 128 | 256 | 4 x 1900 | 40 | 50 |
| c6id.metallic | 128 | 256 | 4 x 1900 | 40 | 50 |
You need to use any Amazon Machine Pictures (AMIs) that embrace drivers for the Elastic Community Adapter (ENA) and NVMe. For optimum networking efficiency on these new cases, ENA driver replace could also be required. For extra info on optimum ENA driver for M6id and C6id cases, see this text on migrating cases.
Listed below are a few issues to remind you in regards to the native NVMe storage on these cases:
- You don’t need to specify a block system mapping in your AMI or through the occasion launch; the native storage will present up as a number of units (
/dev/nvme*1on Linux) after the visitor working system has booted. - Every native NVMe system is {hardware} encrypted utilizing the XTS-AES-256 block cipher and a singular key. Every secret is destroyed when the occasion is stopped or terminated.
- Native NVMe units have the identical lifetime because the occasion they’re hooked up to and don’t stick round after the occasion has been stopped or terminated.
Now Accessible
You’ll be able to launch M6id and C6id cases immediately within the AWS US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Eire) Areas as On-Demand, Spot, and Reserved Cases or as a part of a Financial savings Plan. As ordinary with EC2, you pay for what you utilize. For extra info, see the EC2 pricing web page.
