HAQM EC2 M8g instances now available in AWS Europe (Stockholm)
Starting today, HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) M8g instances are available in AWS Europe (Stockholm) region. These instances are powered by AWS Graviton4 processors and deliver up to 30% better performance compared to AWS Graviton3-based instances. HAQM EC2 M8g instances are built for general-purpose workloads, such as application servers, microservices, gaming servers, midsize data stores, and caching fleets. These instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, which offloads CPU virtualization, storage, and networking functions to dedicated hardware and software to enhance the performance and security of your workloads.
AWS Graviton4-based HAQM EC2 instances deliver the best performance and energy efficiency for a broad range of workloads running on HAQM EC2. These instances offer larger instance sizes with up to 3x more vCPUs and memory compared to Graviton3-based HAQM M7g instances. AWS Graviton4 processors are up to 40% faster for databases, 30% faster for web applications, and 45% faster for large Java applications than AWS Graviton3 processors. M8g instances are available in 12 different instance sizes, including two bare metal sizes. They offer up to 50 Gbps enhanced networking bandwidth and up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth to the HAQM Elastic Block Store (HAQM EBS).
