New Amazon EC2 C7gn Instances: Graviton3E Processors and Up To 200 Gbps Network Bandwidth

The C7gn instances that we previewed last year are now available and you can start using them today. The instances are designed for your most demanding network-intensive workloads (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers, and so forth), data analytics, and tightly-coupled cluster computing jobs. They are powered by AWS Graviton3E processors and support up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth. Here are the specs: Instance Name vCPUs Memory Network Bandwidth EBS Bandwidth c7gn.medium 1 2 GiB up to 25 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.large 2 4 GiB up to 30 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.xlarge 4 8 GiB up to 40 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.2xlarge 8 16 GiB up to 50 Gbps up to 10 Gbps c7gn.4xlarge…

New – Snowball Edge Storage Optimized Devices with More Storage and Bandwidth

AWS Snow Family family devices are used to cost-effectively move data to the cloud and to process data at the edge. The enhanced Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices are designed for your petabyte-scale data migration projects, with 210 terabytes of NVMe storage and the ability to transfer up to 1.5 gigabytes of data per second. The devices also include several connectivity options: 10GBASE-T, SFP48, and QSFP28. Large Data Migration In order to make your migration as smooth and efficient as possible, we now have a well-defined Large Data Migration program. As part of this program, we will work with you to make sure that your site is able to support rapid data transfer, and to set up a proof-of-concept migration.…

Retiring the AWS Documentation on GitHub

About five years ago I announced that AWS Documentation is Now Open Source and on GitHub. After a prolonged period of experimentation we will archive most of the repos starting the week of June 5th, and will devote all of our resources to directly improving the AWS documentation and website. The primary source for most of the AWS documentation is on internal systems that we had to manually sync with the GitHub repos. Despite the best efforts of our documentation team, keeping the public repos in sync with our internal ones has proven to be very difficult and time consuming, with several manual steps and some parallel editing. With 262 separate repos and thousands of feature launches every year, the…

New Storage-Optimized Amazon EC2 I4g Instances: Graviton Processors and AWS Nitro SSDs

Today we are launching I4g instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors that deliver up to 15% better compute performance than our other storage-optimized instances. With up to 64 vCPUs, 512 GiB of memory, and 15 TB of NVMe storage, one of the six instance sizes is bound to be a great fit for your storage-intensive workloads: relational and non-relational databases, search engines, file systems, in-memory analytics, batch processing, streaming, and so forth. These workloads are generally very sensitive to I/O latency, and require plenty of random read/write IOPS along with high CPU performance. Here are the specs: Instance Name vCPUs Memory Storage Network Bandwidth EBS Bandwidth i4g.large 2 16 GiB 468 GB up to 10 Gbps up to 40 Gbps…
