Starting today, Amazon EC2 D3en instances, the latest generation of the dense HDD-storage instances, are available in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region. D3en instances are ideal for workloads including distributed/clustered file systems, big data and analytics, and high capacity data lakes. With D3en instances, you can easily migrate from previous-generation D2 instances or on-premises infrastructure to a platform optimized for dense HDD storage workloads.
Amazon EC2 D3en instances are built on the AWS Nitro System, a collection of AWS-designed hardware and software innovations that enable the delivery of private networking, and efficient, flexible, and secure cloud services with isolated multi-tenancy. D3en instances offer up to 336 TB of local HDD storage. These instances also offer up to 75 Gbps of network bandwidth, and up to 7 Gbps of bandwidth to the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
