As we speak we’re saying basic availability of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C8g and M8g cases.
C8g cases are AWS Graviton4 based mostly and are perfect for compute-intensive workloads equivalent to excessive efficiency computing (HPC), batch processing, gaming, video encoding, scientific modeling, distributed analytics, CPU-based machine studying (ML) inference, and advert serving.
Additionally Graviton4 based mostly, M8g cases present the very best value efficiency for basic goal workloads. M8g cases are perfect for functions equivalent to software servers, microservices, gaming servers, mid-size information shops, and caching fleets.
Now a few of the enhancements that we’ve made obtainable in each these cases. C8g and M8g cases supply bigger occasion sizes with as much as thrice extra vCPUs (as much as 48xl), thrice the reminiscence (as much as 384GB for C8g and as much as 768GB for M8g), 75 p.c extra reminiscence bandwidth, and two occasions extra L2 cache over equal 7g cases. This lets you course of bigger quantities of information, scale up your workloads, enhance time to outcomes, and decrease your whole value of possession (TCO). These cases additionally supply as much as 50 Gbps community bandwidth and as much as 40 Gbps Amazon Elastic Block Storage (Amazon EBS) bandwidth in comparison with as much as 30 Gbps community bandwidth and as much as 20 Gbps Amazon EBS bandwidth on Graviton3-based cases. Much like R8g cases, C8g and M8g cases supply two naked steel sizes (metal-24xl and metal-48xl). You’ll be able to proper dimension your cases and deploy workloads that profit from direct entry to bodily sources.
The specs for the C8g cases are as follows.

Good to know
- AWS Graviton4 processors supply enhanced safety with always-on reminiscence encryption, devoted caches for each vCPU, and help for pointer authentication.
- These cases are constructed on the AWS Nitro System which is a wealthy assortment of constructing blocks that offloads most of the conventional virtualization capabilities to devoted {hardware} and software program. It delivers excessive efficiency, excessive availability, and excessive safety, thus lowering virtualization overhead.
- The C8g and M8g cases are perfect for Linux-based workloads together with containerized and microservices-based functions equivalent to these operating on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), in addition to functions written in well-liked programming languages equivalent to C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, Python, .NET Core, Node.js, Ruby, and PHP.
Out there now
C8g and M8g cases can be found at this time within the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Frankfurt) AWS Areas. As traditional with Amazon EC2, you pay just for what you employ. For extra info, see Amazon EC2 Pricing. Try the gathering of AWS Graviton sources that can assist you begin migrating your functions to Graviton occasion varieties. You too can go to the AWS Graviton Quick Begin program to start your Graviton adoption journey.
