AWS announces the general availability of Amazon EC2 M6in and M6idn instances and Amazon EC2 R6in and R6idn instances. These sixth-generation network optimized instances are powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with an all-core turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz. They are the first x86-based general purpose and memory-optimized instances offering up to 200 Gbps of network bandwidth. These instances deliver up to 2x more network bandwidth and up to 2x higher packet-processing performance over comparable fifth-generation instances. The instances are built on AWS Nitro System, a combination of dedicated hardware and lightweight hypervisor that delivers practically all of the compute and memory resources of the host hardware to your instances for better overall performance and security. You can scale the performance of applications such as SQL and NoSQL databases, in-memory databases (SAP HANA), Telco applications (5G User Plane Function (UPF)), high performance file systems, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets, and real-time big data analytics.
