Amazon has announced the expansion of its EC2 M6id and C6id instances. Powered by the Intel Xeon Scalable processors (all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz), both instances can be outfitted with up to 7.6TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage. Amazon indicates an overall price/performance improvement of up to 15% when compared to previous generations.
Amazon has announced the expansion of its EC2 M6id and C6id instances. Powered by the Intel Xeon Scalable processors (all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz), both instances can be outfitted with up to 7.6TB of local NVMe-based SSD block-level storage. Amazon indicates an overall price/performance improvement of up to 15% when compared to previous generations.
M6id instances are specifically designed for workloads that need a balance of compute and memory resources and those who need a high-speed, low-latency local block storage solution for things like data logging and media processing. C6id is meant for those working with compute-intensive workloads and in high-speed, low-latency local storage environments such as video encoding and image manipulation. Both M6id and C6id are built to excel in use cases that require temporary data storage, including batch and log processing that requires caches and scratch files.
Amazon indicates the following improvements over past generation models:
Amazon notes that each local NVMe device on these instances is hardware encrypted via the XTS-AES-256 block cipher and a unique key, the latter of which is destroyed when the instance is either stopped or terminated. In addition, local NVMe devices have the same lifetime as the instance they are attached to meaning they are completely gone after the instance has been stopped or terminated.
