AWS and AMD have collaborated to give customers more choice and value in cloud computing, starting with the first generation AMD EPYC processors in 2018, such as M5a/R5a, M5ad/R5ad, and T3a instances. At AWS re:Invent this week, Amazon announced GA of Amazon EC2 M6a instances featuring 3rd Gen AMD EPYC processors. These AMD processors operate at frequencies up to 3.6 GHz and offer up to 35 percent price performance versus the previous generation M5a instances.

The M6a instances are available in ten sizes in the AWS US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Ireland) Regions as On-Demand, Spot, and Reserved Instance or as part of a Savings Plan. Here are the specs:
Name | vCPUs | Memory (GiB) | Network Bandwidth (Gbps) | EBS Throughput (Gbps) |
m6a.large | 2 | 8 | Up to 12.5 | Up to 6.6 |
m6a.xlarge | 4 | 16 | Up to 12.5 | Up to 6.6 |
m6a.2xlarge | 8 | 32 | Up to 12.5 | Up to 6.6 |
m6a.4xlarge | 16 | 64 | Up to 12.5 | Up to 6.6 |
m6a.8xlarge | 32 | 128 | 12.5 | 6.6 |
m6a.12xlarge | 48 | 192 | 18.75 | 10 |
m6a.16xlarge | 64 | 256 | 25 | 13.3 |
m6a.24xlarge | 96 | 384 | 37.5 | 20 |
m6a.32xlarge | 128 | 512 | 50 | 26.6 |
m6a.48xlarge | 192 | 768 | 50 | 40 |
Compared to M5a instances, the new M6a instances offer:
M6a instances expand the 6th generation general-purpose instances portfolio and provide high-performance processing at 10 percent lower cost over comparable x86 instances. M6a instances are suitable for general-purpose workloads such as web servers, application servers, and small data stores.
