What was announced?
According to AWS What's New, Amazon EC2 M6in and M6idn instances are now available in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) and South America (Sao Paulo).
M6in and M6idn are sixth-generation network-optimized instances built on 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the AWS Nitro System. They're aimed at network-intensive workloads like high-performance file systems, distributed in-memory caches, caching fleets, real-time big data analytics, and Telco applications such as 5G User Plane Function.
The story so far
M6in and M6idn were already available in the US (Ohio, N. Virginia, N. California, Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, Spain, Stockholm, Zurich, London), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul), Canada Central, and AWS GovCloud. But they weren't yet an option for engineers running infrastructure in Hyderabad or Sao Paulo.
What changes
Engineers in the Hyderabad or Sao Paulo regions can now pick M6in and M6idn directly, running network-intensive workloads closer to home with better latency.
Dive Deep
Here's the spec sheet.
- Up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth (2x more than the 5th generation)
- 10 instance sizes including bare metal, up to 128 vCPUs and 512 GiB of memory
- Up to 100 Gbps of Amazon EBS bandwidth, up to 400K IOPS
- Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) support on 32xlarge and metal sizes
- M6idn instances add up to 7.6 TB of high-speed, low-latency instance storage
Wrap-up
- Amazon EC2 M6in and M6idn are now available in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) and South America (Sao Paulo)
- Up to 200 Gbps network bandwidth, 2x more than the 5th generation
- Built for high-performance file systems, distributed in-memory caches, real-time analytics, and Telco 5G UPF
- Great for engineers running network-intensive workloads in Hyderabad or Sao Paulo!
