Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) C6in instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei). These sixth-generation network optimized instances, powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and built on the AWS Nitro System , deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, for 2x more network bandwidth over comparable fifth-generation instances. 
 
Customers can use C6in instances to scale the performance of applications such as network virtual appliances (firewalls, virtual routers, load balancers), Telco 5G User Plane Function (UPF), data analytics, high-performance computing (HPC), and CPU based AI/ML workloads. C6in instances are available in 10 different sizes with up to 128 vCPUs, including bare metal size. Amazon EC2 sixth-generation x86-based network optimized EC2 instances deliver up to 100Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) bandwidth, and up to 400K IOPS. C6in instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking support on 32xlarge and metal sizes. 
 
C6in instances are available in these AWS Regions : US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Zurich), Middle East (Bahrain, UAE), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Melbourne, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei, Tokyo, Thailand), Africa (Cape Town), South America (Sao Paulo), Canada (Central), Canada West (Calgary), AWS GovCloud (US-West, US-East), and Mexico (Central).

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) M6in and M6idn instances are available in AWS Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) and South America (Sao Paulo) regions. These sixth-generation network optimized instances, powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and built on the AWS Nitro System , deliver up to 200Gbps network bandwidth, for 2x more network bandwidth over comparable fifth-generation instances. 

Customers can use M6in and M6idn instances to scale their performance and throughput of network-intensive workloads such as high-performance file systems, distributed web scale in-memory caches, caching fleets, real-time big data analytics, and Telco applications such as 5G User Plane Function.

M6in and M6idn instances are available in 10 different instance sizes including metal, offering up to 128 vCPUs and 512 GiB of memory. They deliver up to 100Gbps of Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) bandwidth, and up to 400K IOPS. M6in and M6idn instances offer Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking support on 32xlarge and metal sizes. M6idn instances offer up to 7.6 TB of high-speed, low-latency instance storage.

With this regional expansion, M6in and M6idn instances are available in the following AWS Regions : US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt, Spain, Stockholm, Zurich, London), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad, Mumbai, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, Seoul), South America (Sao Paulo), Canada (Central), and AWS GovCloud (US-West). Customers can purchase the new instances through Savings Plans, On-Demand, and Spot instances. To learn more, see M6in and M6idn instances page .
